Sorry to hear about your break-up. I totally understand about the 'going for a ride' thing. There are days...no, weeks, where I say, "if I can't get out of my bike I'm gonna kill someone." I haven't so don't worry I am an outdoor person. I love gardening and being outside. The thing about that is when my neighbor's who don't work in their yard see me they want to talk. When I'm on my bike - A. the other people out there know to smile or wave and then GO ON! and B. The neighbor's who always want to waste my time listening to their endless chatter would never be out there! Love being on my bike. It helps clean out my mind.
