Who's your favorite person to bike with?

[ace]

Upon reflection, I think I'm a riding ****. I like riding with anyone who will ride with me (I was always one of those kids who needed somebody to play with!).

I love riding with my club Light riders group (because it's fun to meet new folks each week, and see the returning ones and their progress); I had fun riding with my Cindy training group because I was in a group a little too hard for me, and they were really nice women who pushed me to ride faster (just 'cause I had to really work to keep up); and I've been having a great time riding with TE gals, particularly Bikerz and Melissam (because Bikerz is inspirational and generous- she's given me and the bike rides home a couple of times, and Melissam is a sweetie and rode slowly with me last week when my knee was hurting, and pretended she didn't mind riding like a turtle ).

PS- the word TE *'d out starts with an s, ends with a t, and has lu in the middle. Prudes.....

I love my club the Velo Girls but some of the best rides have been with TE gals, the Diablo rides, ACT, the ride to Redhook that was my 2nd time cycling with Knott.

I have to agree with ace Bikerz is geat to bike with.

I guess it depends on my mood. I'm a loner so often I simply like to ride by myself. I do some of my best thinking on my bike and then there are times I really don't think of anything at all as I wander about the back roads of my community.

When I do want to ride with someone other than myself I love to ride with my BF. I know I slow him down but I do enjoy our time together on our bikes. He is often my "carrot" giving me an opportunity to push myself to new limits and see what improvements I've made or revealing my weaknesses. Either way I like to be with him.

I love riding with my 13 yo son. We do mostly mountain biking, and if not that, on the multiuse trail around town. Our road bikes are in process of being rebuilt, so we haven't done that, yet.

He has great skills and I'm really proud of how far he's come riding in the street, etc., since we started riding 3 years ago.

DH. It's one of the things we love to do together. Not that I've ever ridden with anyone else...

...and I've been having a great time riding with TE gals, particularly Bikerz and Melissam (because Bikerz is inspirational and generous- she's given me and the bike rides home a couple of times, and Melissam is a sweetie and rode slowly with me last week when my knee was hurting, and pretended she didn't mind riding like a turtle ).

Wha?! Oh no, I wasn't going slow, that's pretty much my regular pace.

But I agree -- BikerZ is inspirational and generous. And one of my favorite riding partners.

Ace, I'd be happy to join you for many other rides. Perhaps on Sunday?

A certain gorgeous, intelligent man... someday I'd like to do more than draft in his wake (or pull his not-quite-as-fast-as-me self along )

I ride alone. I ride a hybrid and not too many females around here ride bikes. So if any of you Montgomery County, Md folks see a black woman on a Rage Red Trek 7.2. , wave, it'll be me!!
