I thought that, until you end up with another 5 bikes to look after fix and tweak (and normally get to clean as well)
Not so bad if you about the same fitness/skill, but if you have to wait for them at top of the hill (not any more she normally beats me to the top at the mo)it’s the waiting at the bottom or half way down on descents (or not go as fast as you like) gets a bit boring and ruin the flow/ride a bit, I just like to ride, on my own, at my pace and don’t normally do “stops” till the end.
Even more of a pain is when they want to “session” something as they can’t do it/or like to do it better after a few goes still can’t do it, (or come off and hurt themselves) then get all upset! 👿 If I come to a section that I am not feeling it/in the zone or think is beyond my skills I get off and walk. no big deal! 😈
Saying all that I put my G/F up against most blokes in skills and fittness, she had a few podiums at mini DH and that’s on a hard tail!!
And yes I am a miserable git 😈
