Gave up now I am back

If you're in a somewhat big city you might try and see if your local bike shops have rides, many do and it's a good place to meet other riders. That's a fine bike you have for what you are trying to accomplish and don't knock 6 miles, that's a good ride and something great to build on.

kziggy, I know how you feel without anyone to ride with. Just keep getting out there and building on those miles. 6 miles are an excellent start! And the other posters advice is good. Ask at any bike shops or look for meetups if you can find any.

Nothing wrong with biking 6 miles.

Only 1 yr ago, I thought that biking 8 miles was A LOT!
