I think a lot of us have been there once or twice at some point.

I think you put it great, to explain that cycling is your "happy place" and to simply say that you need your alone time to train... but you'd love to meet up after or for a later ride.

Happy training and good luck!
She has a "vendetta" against people who stopped riding with her because she got too upset about being dropped. That is not an emotionally healthy response.
