LuvToClimb, the reason I only spoke up after V's comment is I didn't want to get the reaction from you that is in your last post. Veronica's comment made me realize that I am not the only one who feels this way. OK, so you you think I should go out and ride? Get rid of my frustrations? Really, I don't have any. My life is great, and I just came home from a 14 mile ride at 5:00 AM. I guess I am just wondering what else is in your life, besides taking long rides by yourself? I admire the athletic accomplishments, for sure, it's just we know very little about you, besides the fact that you do long rides up steep climbs. Most of the people who post here talk about their riding/running/swimming/x country skiing, but we also share other stuff about ourselves. Not super personal, but I could list the other interests and family/friends of several TE people. It makes them feel like friends, not just some random poster I see on the Internet. In fact, I have met several TE people in person and this would not have happened if I didn't feel a connection, in addition to the riding. Perhaps this is just my own personal take on this, but I have never seen you post about anything other than your climbs.
