Final Evaluation: We Have a Good Thing Going

Almost a full month later here's the final evaluation of the Matrimonial Evaluation Tour. Just like our marriage, we are both in it for the long haul. Mainly we had nothing but fun, and in the handful of moments that one or the other of us (or both of us) were struggling we helped each other through. That has been the hallmark of the last 33 years. We spent the first few days after the ride battling that feeling of emptiness, yearning for the simplicity and the challenge of riding your bike to the next destination. As for me, I'll just say that the amazing young woman I married 31 years ago has aged like a .... no, I won't default to that trite "fine wine" cliche. But, man oh man, I really did get lucky when I married Margaret. Like ... Powerball lottery ticket winner lucky.

Thanks for reading everyone. We're already cooking up the next ride.

Lyle McLeodMike and Marg, enjoyed reading along and loved the daily Art Card. Very creative and obviously a large amount of talent. Happy to see the final report ‘Pass’ … and it appears to be holding up 5 years later in 2022. Maybe it’s time for another test with the ante upped….. tandem ride anyone? 😉
As I’ve heard it said “A tandem will accelerate the current trajectory of your relationship” … and that has certainly been our experience!
Happy trails.
