My wife and I have been retired for ~1.5 years. In the beginning I used to feel guilty when I'd leave her at home all alone. She's not a cyclist, just a cycling supporter. A few weeks ago we were talking about my lack of miles and lack of the fitness I had a few years ago. She told me to ride whenever I wanted to and not worry about her. So we agreed that I could ride whenever I want unless she tells me of other plans or unexpected events/activities. Lately it seems the only unexpected things are funerals.
