My LBS has a ladies ride on Thursday mornings and some of the women have been asking my wife to attend but it conflicts with our regular T-Th group. For some reason, she decided to go today and asked me to ride over to the ride (9 mi.) and then I would do my own ride while she rode with the ladies and then meet up afterwards to ride home.
We ride over (had a flat but no biggie) and the shop owner grabs me and asks me to the lead the ride because he had pressing shop business to attend to. I mean, there are worse things to do than lead fit women on a 20 mile ride.

OTOH there is a women's mountain bike club here with a pretty big membership. I've ridden with them several times and it's always fun. Sure, some of them are way fast and fearless but they always wait and watch out for the others.

Years ago a bunch of my friends had VW Beetles and some were skiers. At the resorts they had trouble starting them in the cold weather. One guy put a blanket on his engine the night before and forgot it in the morning. It caught fire but they got it out before the car burned down, just some wiring damage.

I had a 63 beetle I drove across country, west to east, and then drove it till it died a long, slow death. Loved that car.
