[Gone in 60]

For the first time, my wife has been showing an inkling of interest in riding on one of my bikes. She spends a great deal of time at her Mom's place, which is in a remote part of a small town in north San Diego County. The neighbor couple, who are very sweet and lend a lot of help to us, both ride, and enjoy the gorgeous roads in the area.

They have apparently been asking my wife why she doesn't ride with me, and telling her she'd probably enjoy it quite a bit. They have even gone so far as to offer to let me store one of my bikes in their garage, to hide it from Mom, who would not approve, so that I can enjoy riding around the hills in the area and let my wife try riding with me. I'd like it to happen, but am not pushing at all.

I asked my wife if she wanted her Christmas present to be her own helmet... she's mulling it over.
