As Pete and others have set the run report bar very high recently, I thought I would have a go. After 34 years or riding, my wife Libby has finally decided to have a go at laning with me(I think she felt sorry for me now Grommett has gone to Uni).

We recently purchased an XT225 and she already considers it 'her bike' I have to ask if I can change stuff on it. After a couple of sighting runs on the roads around here to get her eye in, last Saturday we set of for some proper stuff.

We left from home and did 

192212

192206

192205

192231

192277

192202

192215

192216

191078

191077 both ways and there is a tree down, can squeeze past

191072

Then we had a cuppa and some cake by the reservoir, and made our way back down some of the same lanes to home.  It was great to share what I have been experiencing for years with her and to watch the skills develop.  We did loads of daft stuff as youngsters and this is just like being back there.

So guys, if you can, get your misses to come out some times.  If she can already ride a bike great, but it would be even better if she learnt.

Benefits are;

free pass outs

understanding why a 'quick ride out' takes 3  hours

cake while your out

a spare bike

a chance to have a great day with your wife

cheers Trev (and Libby)

Nice one Trevor!

I took Mrs TTR out laning one day and she didn't get it - couldn't see past the mud and brambles - didn't try again no

Hi Trevor and Libby, great to see pics and write up of your run out together, well done Libby for giving it a go, I'm sure there's many happy times ahead. Look forward to seeing you both in east Devon sometime.
