My wife is at the same time impressed, mystified and horrified at the amount of effort I put into racing my bike...she really doesn't understand how hard it is just to be as mediocre as I am. She is impressed at my dedication and how I'm able to train and not have it really interfere with my family time (I get on the bike really really early). She is horrified at the amount of money I spend...actually so am I.
