My wife and I ride at different speeds and like different terrain, but sometimes we ride together. On last year's Grand Tour double century, for example, she rode the Lowland route while I rode Highland. She finished about 45 min. before me, but no problem.

Sometimes we'll do recovery rides together; I usually ride my fixed gear on those, i.e. relatively flat rides to the beach and back.

Fortunately, most "event" rides offer more than one option so we can find distances and climbing (or lack thereof) to suit both of us.

We've tried tandems at various times but that just didn't work for us!
