My wife constantly worries while I'm out riding. She never stops me from riding and only asks that I check in. A few times over the past 11 years we've had arguments about how often I should be checking in, but nothing major (and a few times I should have called or sent a text message when I didn't).
Today is an interesting entry into this saga: I was out doing a 130 mi solo ride and when I stopped to refill my water bottles I sent her a text message that said I still had about 45 mi left. If the US had just gone metric this never would have happened but my wife took that to be 45 minutes (which is usually noted as min) and I guess she started getting nervous. Fortunately, I now have an iphone and she was able to locate me and see that I was moving down a certain road (as opposed to being a hood ornament on some car or truck).
If we were just using km instead of mi none of this would have happened. At least it wasn't my fault this time!
Anyone else have a good story?
