thank you so much. Actually, my husband did comfort me and he suggested that I get on my forums and reach out. I usually ride alone and this was an organized group ride. I don't really know other cyclists. I had been riding alone and these three men came up behind me and encouraged me to try to stay with them. We were chatting and they were pulling me along. We had all exchanged names and pleasantries. So I didn't know them well at all.
