Its over . . . now I am riding solo

[makbike]

My ex encouraged me to ride and ride I did. When we parted ways last year I knew I would continue to ride for it was a great way to work off negative thoughts/energy. More importantly it had become a passion and one I refused to ditch because things did not work out between us. And ride I did and I continue to ride. I've met a lot of great people and have made some life long friends because I did not walk away from the club when we parted ways. Continue to ride, explore all your possibilities club rides, solo rides, classes, etc. You never know when that person who is truly meant to be with you will enter your life.

Hey there, welcome to TE!
I often ride alone, and I'm married! I am always looking for gals to ride with. Like Mr. Silver said, join a local cycling club - you will meet lots of folks.

Just get out there and ride, ride LOTS. You'll soon discover how empowering it can be.
If yo live close enough to your bike shop get to know the (usually) guys that work there. maybe someone will be patient enough to give you a mini-clinic one day.
You never know who's gonna walk through the door at the bike shop.

One more thing...we don't know what hemishere you're in, but if winter is coming upon you, get into a cycling/spin class at the local health club.

Hey, MAKBIKE, did you meet the new BF on a bike, also? I've seen you make a couple references to him.

In any case, glad you found someone!

I didn't notice. There HAVE been references. Blue_Wildflower, take note. Makbike was in your shoes not too long ago. Listen to her, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

No actually we met online. He was a cyclist years ago and now is itching to return to the bike. He has a bike picked out and hopefully he will return to riding within the month. I'm looking forward to sharing some of my favorite roads with him and offering words of encouragement. He has been very supportive of my quest to ride 30 centuries this season. He is a great guy and I'm feeling pretty darned blessed. Life is good, very good!
