another bike date... he neglected to mention...

[Trek420]

KSH sez "It's hard for a man to find a women who is into cycling... and being athletic!"

I dunno if it's the national tendency to have so much "screen time" tv, computer, or because I'm hecka old and many of my peers are more or less sedentary, but it's simply hard to find active people dare I say "our" age.

It's not that "the gal o' my dreams" would have to ride but what I've found is that more or less sedentary folk can go quickly from "I would always encourage you to ride" to "what? you wanna ride again? you did that last month".

So in a perfect world the next DP of Trek would know this "comes with the territory", not to be crass but "ya want the legs? I gotta get outside. hopefully, with you".

Wondering if the other single TE gals find that to be true? I think whichever team you bat for it's an issue ;-)

One things certain I'm truly thankful to have a great supportive family. I have a wonderful diverse group of friends who share my values, politics, love of food, art, my quirky sense of humor. They don't ride, heck I can barely get them to walk but they'll gladly join in the recovery meal after. And I have a fabulous community of friends IRL and online who ride and they've got the quirky sense of humor and those other things down pat.

And of course my dog loves me, and that trumps all. So things could be far worse ;-)

"Keep giving us the date reports... very cool to hear about it!"

Thought we were going to get reviews? " I give so-and-so on match.com 5 chain rings". Or is that just tooo tacky?
