No guilt hun
I'da left him too. I'm guessing he planned on riding the route alone anyway, kinda like you did so the fact that the 2 of you had 57 shared miles was more than either of you planned. What if you hadn't been with him?.....it would've happened anyway and he would've made the same decision. Sounds like you had a nice ride tho, sorry about the route markings, my first organized ride was poorly marked also, but between living here and the route map we knew where we needed to turn ect.
Keeping you in my thoughts for tomorrow, have another great ride!! Pixs???
Cali:....make it back yet?
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
