I am a morning person and usually start my weekend long ride long before the wife gets up. Shorter rides, 30 miles or so, I meet her for breakfast at one of the mom and pop's she likes-She grew up in the town and went to high school with a couple of the owners. This meetup is usually very near the end of the ride, five miles or so of easy to moderate hills to get home, or I put the bike in my car. (she drives my car to these meets because mine is the bike carrier).

Longer rides of 50-60 miles we meet for lunch.
