The woman I spoke to--from the Kanata club--as I had to explain--Why I can't ride at the speed of light--about the part that has been taken out of me--made a suggestion to contact another member--for Next season--who might have suggestions--for those of us who simply go slower. So--maybe next spring--I'll look them up again............What I lack in speed--I make up for in endurance. I really am out there--right up until the snow flies--and I am very comfortable at 15km/hr. I can of course go faster--depending on wind direction and cross winds and hill grades--sometimes very comfortably at 20km/hr. I am Very used to everyone passing me--but it would be Nice--to have some company for casual rides. I am as equally disappointed in not being able to raise lesbians to come out. Some of that-yes-lack of interest--some--really intimadated by the exertion-some-in other types of biking-like fast club rides and mountain terrain rides--and obviously--sexual politics.
