Today was my first scheduled alone ride, I did take my camera with me (thanks Irulan!). I tried to push myself with some intervals, basically I had locations I knew I wanted to take photos at, so I would push myself to go a little faster to make it to that point, baby steps all the way! It was so beautiful out!

Mountain biking is the only thing I find difficult doing alone. I love hiking, backpacking, etc. alone because I use that time to de-stress and focus on the beauty of the outdoors and sort my thoughts. It would seem natural that I should also enjoy mountain biking alone, my brain must be in social mountain biking mode.

But I love mountain biking so much that I'll just have to get over this little hump with some of the ideas you all have. Today was a good start, I truly enjoyed it, although I would come across a technical section that I wanted to share with people (I'll just have to share during the weekend).

Thanks!
