Oh dear, another 'Me, too' post.

Every time I read something about clubs and club rides - even those reports that are supposed to be positive - my first reaction is a shudder. I can do without all the, um, issues?, baloney?, posturing? All that, at any rate.

I'm sure that if I rode with a club that challanged me, I'd get "better," what ever that means. But would I quit riding because it would stop being fun? Then for sure I'd get "worse." No thanks, I won't take that chance. I'll ride along in blissful solitude, crawling up hills, bombing down same, chasing the occasional roadie, and just generally enjoying myself and my ride. Life is to short to NOT enjoy the bike rides.
