This morning, I asked an honest question.
"Ben, would you want to do this marathon with me? We could walk it. The time limit is 6 hours, so it's totally do-able."
He paused and replied, "But, would you be happy going that slow? Wouldn't you want to go faster?"
"No, not if it meant we could go it together."
"OK, honestly... I really don't want to go that many miles on my feet."
Done. I thought it would be a lovely scenic bonding jaunt, he thought it would be torture. He's probably right. Talking people into things is my specialty, but I know that I'd regret this one 20 miles in when he attempts to strangle me. I'll just go it solo again.
And so it goes.

Things that aren't going to happen, at least on my end:
A) Get Allison to go for a ride that isn't to school or restaurant
B) Get Allison to try CX
I'm kinda glad cycling's my thing, but it'd be nice to have her along on my easier days. Help me persuade her, Julie!
i could work on that- do you have a CX or MTB rig that would fit her?
julie - hey, at least he was honest and didn't try to do it and then pussy out at the end of the race, you know?
