[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 170491, member: 11881"] My wife is pretty tolerant and understanding (even if she really doesn't believe it) of all my things except for my 24 hour mountain bike racing and the cost, pain, damage, and injury it tends to inflict. After my last 24 hour mountain bike race she gave me an ultimatum that there would be no more. However, I do believe there will be one more - I'll send her away to the spa that weekend. Our children have always laughed and mocked me as to what a wimp the old man is so I promised them that once they were all old enough we will as a family do a 24 hour race. When our daughter (the one we were waiting on) reached 16, old enough to race, unfortunately it was end of the race - there would be no more. She jumped for joy and then expressed how sad she was that she would never get to do the race and show her old man how much of a wimp he is. I got the last laugh the other day when I explained that some other sponsors are looking at picking up the race and that it may be back on for the family to race. Sorry for the off-track and addition of the story, but to the topic, it would be my mountain bike/racing. [/QUOTE]
