[Closed] What do you do with the missus....

benc · 2011-09-23T10:01:50Z

....when she insists on coming biking with you but then gets too nervous to ride yet too stubborn and proud to turn back! That's not fun for mr or mrs! We live in south wales and i can’t find a good run in the usual places (Brechfa, Afan, Cymcarn etc) to gradually build her confidence and skills on i guess flattish flowing stuff. It's kinda all or nothing. There must be tons of mr's out there in the same position? I can’t just ban her from coming - or maybe i could?! She's so keen and competitive - just hasn’t got a clue - and whenever i try and give her pointers she thinks I’m patronising her!! Any missus' out there that have overcome this stubborn fear or better still want to take my missus out riding so she can build her confidence and skills away from bossy impatient old me!!

Head to Bristol. The new trails at Ashton Court and Leigh Woods should do the trick. Leigh Woods will be completed in November but Ashton Court has been going a while and its great for all comers. Not very hilly with a nice flow. There is an option of a red section if she fancies something a bit more challenging too but all very rideable.
