Feeling saddle sore this morning but besides that I feel great. Let me know when you guys are taking another slow ride.
Keep an eye on chainlove.com for some mt biking shorts with a foam chamois in them, they make riding a lot more comfortable.

I will take a slow paced ride anytime you want to go. Seriously. The only way for you to improve is to ride a lot and you will be surprised how quickly your speed will increase after only a couple rides. Riding with faster riders can only help.

Were you wearing padded liners last night? They do make a difference. I only started wearing them on the ride before last night and it's helped a lot.
I think you did a great job editing. Thanks for doing that.

Yeah, actual riding shorts make a huge difference. That and a decent saddle.

There's plenty of paved rail trails and whatnot. Would she be up for "hanging" for 2 or 3 hours like that though? Probably some hiking in there too, I'd imagine.
