Its over . . . now I am riding solo

[Trek420]

For those that were introduced to riding my a ex-significant other, how did you go forward?

Welcome to TE. Yours is like the $0.50 tour of my recent life the last few years. Cycling seems like such an individual sport, just get on the bike and ride, right? But it's a team sport even on just a couple level; cooking the recovery meal, getting the bike on the roof (I'm 5' nuthin) ... so when my DPITA dumped me it was a loss and very hard to keep riding.

But I did.

Keep reading and posting here, the support is great and what I've learned here enabled me to ride further and better. Find a club, if there is a cause you care deeply about train for and do a charity ride (my DPITA didn't think I could do the AIDS ride, I did 4 of 'em so there, take that. Neener neener neener brphttttpt )

You don't say where you are one of the great things about this board is some of us actually get out and ride together.

That's what I figured at the time; I'm just going to get out there and ride, while doing so I meet new people, maybe some of them will be single , but that's not the point I'm doing good on a charity ride so I'll meet people who care about issues that I do. One thing I find is people get into cycling for a number of reasons; fitness, save a buck on gas, the challenge ... but you stay for the people and the food

Enjoy the new community, ride your bike and be fabulous. Somewhere out there when you least expect it and are not even looking is the biker dude for you. Meanwhile, just get out there and ride. There's lots of bike legs to oggle too so keep riding .
