Solo - I've ridden solo for so long I find it difficult to ride in groups and I end up getting cranky! LOL I have 2 very good friends I ride with sometimes but I really enjoy my solitude on the bike!

If I'm alone I stop the bike and talk to the dog. Tell it to go home. I don't move unless the dog just will not back off and then I try walking away very slowly and in a non-threatening manner. If the dog will not back down I start yelling Really Loudly for someone to come and get this frigging dog and I pull out my water bottle and squirt the dog. If I'm with friends, the ex-pro racer puts himself closest to the dog and squirts the dog with water while the 2 women (me and my friend) sprint past.

wow----and now my question?????

If money were no object - what bike would you have and why?
