Cycling goals ruining friendship

*phew*..Good thing i'm not the only one who thought the same thing as TC1.

Limewave, you're training for MTB events ya? Why not just go out to the trails when you have *you* time..Forget about the other chick and go beat some trails up!

Hey Limewave,

I race mt bikes too. In our mt biking community we always separate training rides and social no drop rides. During my training seasons, I do not do any "social rides". I am social with my training partners, but I do not have time to do both types of riding in season. All the stopping makes me crazy when I am training.

I have had to have this conversation with friends, ( and relatives). If she is really a friend, just tell her the truth.

One way we have gotten around the situation is to go ride for an hour before the slower riders show up and then do some easy miles with them as a cooldown.

I wish we lived closer, you would love my gang that I train with!!!
