This is one of my concerns for my tour of the Great Divide next June. My wife can't go with me, but she is loathe to let me go alone. I know someone who loves riding and rides daily, is retired, and would go with me at the drop of a hat. The trouble is, I would probably have to kill him before we reached Colorado. I just could not do that because I really like and respect his wife.
I love to convince my son-in-law to go with me (disabled vet). It would do him a world of good although I'd probably have to kill him off before we even got to Idaho.
So I'll go alone unless I find someone in the time frame that I'm going.
