OK, that is the thing exactly. Couple recent situations where I left my ride pal... but then purposely waited for her to catch up. Here lately, she seems offended, saying "...oh, you didn't need to wait up for me...". This was where we went to the ride together at an event, but others were there etc.

Well... if I wanted to ride totally alone, I would have went out alone.

We both have some limitation (medically) with our cycling. One thing that makes for nice partners--the other "gets it". Mine are less in some areas that I excel--and then we catch up. I don't mind.

Hmm... have to work on the communication some more. It's been wonderful having a ride partner. Just a few of my goals are... different.

Thx for the input.
