Training on three hours a week... according to the wife

I have been doing quite a bit of cycling / training including a short tour in the past few weeks. I have an audax on the 4th September and after a long ride tomorrow am reducing my cycling volume until then. I told Mrs Lane that after tomorrow I will not be doing much cycling until the 4th September. Her incredulous reply was "that's hardly any time" as if it wasn't even worth mentioning. Whereas to me it's quite a lengthy break. Different perspectives!

She wants me to "cut back" on it. She says 3 rides a week is sufficient.

And who is she to dictate what is sufficient?

She's being unreasonable. Period.

A bit late to the party here, but the problem is solved by getting your wife a bike and riding together.

Worst advice I've ever read.

How about joining her on the sofa when she is watching her favourite programs and striking up a conversation. Won't take many instances to be told to go and find something else to do.

This thread is dead chaps. OP made one post, never seen again

Either he's capitulated and no longer exercises, or has done her in and is now locked up

Lets keep the thread going with speculation

Probably the wife saw him at this laptop and said hey darling I think 1hr of screen time is sufficient.
