I gave my girlfriend my stumpy evo when I upgraded. Started her out on fairly flat stuff to get her used to the bike and build some base miles. It's been a slow progression, but now she's really into it, riding more technical stuff and climbing more. She's even got a Garmin and using Strava. It works great for me, because now when we have days off together, we ride together instead of just hanging out. Just have some patience and good luck!
sounds like it's just a game of patience. Thanks man
My girlfriend rides with me sometimes but it's mostly my thing. When I taught her I basically took her to all the trails I find boring haha. Took her to the technical sections and stood there to see how she did it what she could do better etc.
