Default My wife's first toy run

Just got back from the Highway Hikers annual run, and this one was the first I've taken the wife on.
She had a blast, and was dissapointed when it was over. It's fun to see her enjoying this stuff

You are a lucky man. Mine never has really cared much for riding. I've tried to get her on a couple of toy runs but she won't go (says it's too cold). I ain't giving up yet. She'll get on the bike in the summer when it's warm but not for more than a 20 or 30 mile quick putt. That's why I put a luggage rack where her rack should be perched. Guess the upside is she never gives me any grief about going out on the bike by myself but sure would be nice if she'd come along.

It's nice that the two of you can enjoy it together. My wife is pushing to buy us both a good set of leathers for X-mas so that we can do some of the same next year. Glad that she enjoyed it.
