So the whole online thing has suddenly taken off for me... I had SIX dates last week Two were repeats (2nd dates! Yeah... I'm no longer the "one date wonder"!!!!)

So one guy I met on Thursday... we had already agreed to ride Sat but wanted to meet BEFORE the ride for coffee... so we meet and spend several hours talking... everything's going well... we talk bikes, components, gear etc... then he casually throws out there that he did Ironman a few years ago OMG! Now I'm scared... really, really scared... he's gonna KILL me on the bike! I make him promise not to drop me, and he agrees... (the last guy who promised dropped me anyway! the one before that I rode 9mph with so I DIDN'T drop him!)

So we meet Sat and had decided to do about 30 miles... ahem... yeah, well that turned into 47... This guy was SO cool... he did NOT drop me, and yes, he could have... but we stayed together, chatted, he told me I'm a sandbagger cause I rode faster than I claimed (a little self preservation on my part telling him I was slow... ya know... just in case!) and generally had a good ride...

so we SAG at 30 miles in and then start the last 20... into a STRONG headwind... gasp... NOW I'm truly slow! The wind was stinkin' HOWLING! LOL...

just before we rode back to where we'd parked we caught a red light... I told him he could "put another notch in his seatpost, cause he wore my butt out!" First time I heard him truly belly laugh!

No idea if he's interested in anything more than friendship and a ride buddy, but dang it was fun!

Tonight is date #3 with another guy too...

So how's everyone else doing???
