This is not a laughing matter

It is after dark and I haven't heard from him. I will assume he is grabbing a beer with the new friends and not bleeding with them not knowing who to call.

send him a text message "did your survive?"

I did, no response yet. If his new buddies are like him they probably didn't pay attention to time and are heading back to their cars now even though it was dark 20 minutes ago!

yes it is getting dark now earlier Last night I was running... and at 7:45pm it was dark, and I found myself taking the street route vs the trail route cause it was too dark for the woods

My boyfriend just got hooked up with a new running group on Tuesday's. So on Tuesday's I await his message/story of how fast this group is and how he got dropped at nth mile, etc, etc... but one day he is not going to get dropped!!, and then I will be the slower runner of us both!! Dang, if I only I could get off work in time to get to this group.. he is soon going to run faster than me... and I am not sure if that is acceptable!!, LOL!!

I know him so well, he is eating a burger and having a beer. I can't wait to hear how it went, he doesn't have any mountain biking buddies here except me and a friend of ours who is flaky because he has about 12 hobbies.

Join the group we have going under Open Topic (non-cycling)! There's about 20 of us doing it here!

Aggie, I'm sure your husband made it back OK, but post and let us know eh!

He did make it home okay and no bleeding or bruises but he did get stung by something (second time in a week poor thing). Unfortunately he did not have that great of a time. He said everyone was really nice but the trail frustrated him. People would get strung out because it was so technical and he would be all alone. He also said because he wasn't familiar with it he felt very uncomfortable and walked parts he knows he could have done. He is not by any means a beginner but not quite an expert, closer to expert than beginner though. He also was worried that how frustrated he was showed and made him not come off well. But he did say that the group said most people find it a very frustrating experience first time out and he would go again.
