Gosh, Duck, I'd love one of those, will you be my riding buddy? Its easier said than done. You might look at the Pacific Northwest Rides board... We have so many near misses; She has to work, she doesn't, she's starting at 10, i can't be there until noon... KNot wants to ride, I'm stuck with family, etc, etc..
and we each have between a 15 to 20 mile ride just to get to a central meeting place.
My DH used to be more of a riding buddy, but he graduated. This morning I dropped him off at the startline of a 200 k ride... So now what? I'm not riding. well, I might a little by myself. owell, thanks for listening.
