mmmmm she will do a lot of sleeping in and shopping with a new born baby....you BOTH have so much to learn.
You will be so tired the thought of riding for hours will be along way away from your thoughts .....you will have simple aims like 4 hours uninterupted sleep, perhaps to have SEX ever again, not smell of wee or vomit (you may be used to that bit though hora
)

My wife was great with the first one. She went to friends and family showing him off whilst I went out riding. It was only when the second one arrived that my riding time dropped sharply. I get out by myself for an hour or two, maybe once a week/fortnight, but I can't remember the last time I went out with a bunch of mates at the weekend. Still, the in-laws live near the Sierra Nevada so I get a good summer riding fix with live-in babysitters. Awesome

There will be no second. Definitely not. Im so adamant that Ive already discussed the snip. No **** way. Full stop.

you say that now. wait until he / she arrives.
Echo pretty much of the serious advice above. things will change but not necessarily for the worse, just different. the only thing I would really say is that you lose the flexibility to do stuff on a whim (not as easy to say - wow, it's a really nice day, think I'll go for a ride after all). So you make plans for when you're going to ride, and then stick to them irrespective.
So that would be my tip for riding with children about. Save a bit on baby clothes via freecycle, etc., and spend what you've saved on lights and a decent waterproof.

Probably already been said above, but think of this as a totally new life. Don't try and live your old life but with a child in tow since it will only lead to disappointment (unless you have a VERY understanding missus)

It will effect your riding maybe not end it but it'll reduce it, less and I also remember saying your never ever going to have kids so don't believe a word of you saying your not having 2.

Bored of getting p*ssed in some dive that looks terrible when the lights are on. Drinking gnats piss lager in bars or wine that you could preserve sheds with. Would rather go out less and actually enjoy where we do go more.

I am just, like, SOOOOOOOOOOO looking forward to seeing you cope with fatherhood.
You appear to be utterly delusional and in denial about whats actually involved. Have you learnt absolutely nothing from watching the slow-motion car crash that my life has become over the last couple of years?
You are NOT going to be going out riding on a Saturday morning, while Mrs Hora dutifully watches the little chubby mini-Hora. What she says now and what actually happens are the difference between a politicians promises and what they deliver once in power. And she's agreed to not wanting a second. Yeah.... good luck with that
You'll wake up and smell the coffee soon enough. You spaz!

binners, I'm not having two. We have an agreement and Lisa isnt the type to try and talk me out of it or worse trick me. She's just not that type. We agreed one. She doesnt want to have that big regret of never being a Mother.

Well, post scan we were hit on by a 'research Midwife' (my ass) and GF was asked about domestic violence (apperently in this hospital they have to ask everyone)....GF enquired further and it turns out alot of women actually answer 'yes'. ****. Luckily I popped out after the interesting bit otherwise my black humour would have been very unwelcome...
