I think it would also make going to rides a bit more enjoyable for the
significant others who like to ride, but have no interest in doing 25+
miles.  I just mentioned it to mine and it really intrigued him.  He has NOT
been looking forward to going to rides with me because he will be bored and
feel left out.  Something shorter, like 10-12 miles would be perfect.
