Why is that??

There are a couple of mtn biking 'groups' that I'm thinking of meeting up with, they are kind of far away, but at least meeting people that will understand why I like to ride for hours on end might be a start

My vote is to start your own Mommy group. BTW I think they were jealous of you, that's why they got up and left
+1 gajillion! I'm slowly making friends (even though I've lived here for 10 years now)....strangely enough, most of them seem to be people i've met through my part-time job and volunteer activities. DH and I have decided that we just don't have an East Coast mindset, and would probably fit in better out west....someday.
