That’s a first for me qtip helping someone with technology. Maybe see you on a ride been bit busy of late with stuff and trips but should be back in N Wales soon.
Ask PostieRich for tips on being able to invite anyone on a ride and also invite himself on anyone's ride. He is the master of cheek and generosity when it comes to rides.
This is a good thread.
I never thought about it before.
I guess I always knew people who wanted to ride as well.
I also am very happy to go out on my own anyway.
I think I just talk about it wherever I am.
Work, out with friends etc and start chatting about it with people you like.
Before you know it you are meeting up for a ride.
I started back again recently, out on my own, exploring and strengthening up.
Chatting about it at work, and have hit lucky, going most weeks with a guy who is very like minded.
There are now others at work who are also interested in tagging along.
I agree, I also think that is the hardest part (finding like minded people) . Some people want to just power along on the flats, some just love trails, some like to explore and muck about.......
in various riding groups and still find it hard to initiate a "let's ride" chat, hence often just head out on my own for an explore or wander...
I’m always looking for people to ride with in FOD tomorrow at 8:30, if anyone is looking for someone to ride with? Think it’s only me and my mate out (late 30’s/40’s) ride off piste stuff probably around 18 miles stop for a cake halfway round or at the end.
Well I had a good time with Trimix and co.
They're a bit above my skill level, but I think I just about managed to keep up.
Recommended company for riding!
Yup, that was a bloody good day out, lets do it again soon. I'm still giggling about that drop-undercut thing I did by accident. Such an adrenaline shot, a little bit of wee came out.
Not sure about you just keeping up, I was maxed out at the end. Each time it went uphill you started to pull away. We only had you on the downhills because we are from the more gentle Chilterns, so we found the steep bits a novelty and forgot to brake 🙂
If you fancy exploring the Chilterns let me know, we can show you our favorite bits in return for the cool stuff you showed us.
