    Claudia, I'm still hanging in there! It has been an tough but amazing year for me. I won't lie I still get down from time to time but I have learned so much about myself and what I'm capable of handling. Sure I miss the companionship, sure I miss my ex (from time to time), sure I miss the ups and downs of a having a partner but in the end I'm going to be a better and stronger person because of this unplanned journey. I continue to ride, I continue to enjoy my time with the friends I've made in the club and I continue to heal. Life is good!

    That's wonderful Marcie! Amazing what a little time and introspection can do. It's cliche, and eveyone says it, but it's true. I hope it continues. One year from today...I hope the journey has brought you even more rewards.

    Ooh, if this is a thread about split-ups and bike riding for releasing tension, I'm IN!!!!

    It sounds like I'm in the same spot as you two, I've had THE crappiest two months of my life, then at the end of said two months, the b/f up and leaves me at a time I needed him most. Well, screw him I say!!! I'm better off, and now I am addicted to cycling and need to get that frustration out somehow, well, this seems to be helping me keep my sanity!!

    Hang in there ladies!!
