Over time, most women tend to stop liking what they liked doing when they were younger.

Just one of life's cruel jokes.

Reminds me of the old saying:
"A man marries a woman hoping that she'll never change. A woman marries a man hoping she can change him. In the end, both are wrong."

my wife loves to ride her bike as much as possibly, yesterday it felt like we were riding sideways with the wind. if you don't ride when it's windy in illinois you don't ride much.

I don't know, but that was her intention to start traveling more with the bike that's why we bought what we bought. Just last weekend a friend of mines band was playing in Des Moines IA and we planned on riding up there to see them. There was a chance of rain but it was at night not during the riding day time, plus it was really windy. She refused to ride so we drove. We only hit rain 30 minutes before we got there and it rained all through the night but we would not of been riding anyway. Next morning was cool but very light rain and got 15 minutes out no rain the rest of the way and got warmer the closer we got to home.

I told her they make rain gear.

Oh well. Keep trying.

Wife has a 50 degree limit in Fall/Winter - other than that, she's with me. Funny thou - sig pic was a camping trip last year, 10% chance of rain - you guessed it - it POURED down. She asked for the rain gear - I told her that dumb guy she married took them out to pack the steaks.....it was all good
