first solo tour

[shootingstar]

Let us know how the trip went when you go.

Tri, I know my dearie wouldn't have a problem if I went cycling solo overnight for 1-3 nights, on routes that I have some general idea. He knows my geospatial skills aren't the hottest compared to his. So his concern would be me getting lost at the wrong time. Which has happened ...

I haven't done it yet. And it's my own mental game in my head that's stopping ,not him.

He's always thrilled for me to go off cycling solo for the day 60-80 km. rides which I have done by joining bike routes together..

Your DH wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't worry. Remind him how proud of you he will be when you come back all in one intact piece, having conquered your (and his) fears. Enjoy your trip.

My DH is concerned about my upcoming trip, but he gave up long ago on discouraging my wild schemes. It's my mother that I don't quite have the courage to tell about my summer plans. I'd rather deal with the traffic and bears in Yellowstone than her reaction, coward that I am.

Very cool! I'm jealous. Have fun & be safe.

I too have a DH that is apprehensive about my solo adventures. I keep him statused via text messages including pictures - it seems to help. I'm looking forward to seeing how you enjoyed your ride!

haha DH believes that my lack of observation is all encompassing. He sees danger at every corner that I will not be observant enough to see. I am much more obsrvant that he realizes. I just don't zone in on every detail when it's not necessary. He can't turn that off (an attribute of adult ADD!)

I'll call him, I'll text him. He will get used to it. He just won't like it. Ever! LMAO
