My wife just started riding as an adult summer 2016. She hadn't ridden since she was a 12. I grew up riding on the back of my dad's old Santana. We did HHH and several other centuries until I was old enough to ride my own and keep up (in the draft at least). I rode HHH on the old santana with several people until finally finding my wife! We then bought a Litespeed tandem I found on ebay and I built it up in my garage. Nothing better than getting to exercise with your wife together. She HATED exercising before she met me and mocked it. But now she loves the tandem and is a great sport about it.
