Me and my wife ride all the time together, I'm 53 and she 49. She can draft at speeds most men would envy (last night the pace was 25+ and she even pulled a bit) She has worked with a coach to improve her ability and we make quite a formitable duo!! I look forward to many miles with my live-in ride buddy. BTW I have logged 6000miles this year so far and I would say she has to be pushing 4000. Love the looks we get when we drop the young guns on climbs!!
