I rode more back when my son had more time to ride. When he'd call and ask if I wanted to ride, I couldn't refuse. Likewise if I ask him he couldn't or wouldn't refuse. Since he's gotten busier with work, he now has little time to ride. So now I can make little excuses to not ride. Too cold, too dreary looking, might rain and etc. I find that my riding miles are suffering badly.
So I'll agree with you.
