Mostly on my own these days, when I started out very rarely - always had a nagging doubt in my mind, god I've missed out on some rides.
Always make sure Mrs knows where I'm going and carry a mobile.
None of my close friends ride so I go out by myself most of the time. Then once every so often I meet up with a riding buddy. Push myself more (as I can make all sorts of odd sounds on the climbs) and dont feel embarrassed when I catch my wide bars on both sides and go over the bars.
Usually solo, I'm fat, slow and have no friends. Son's been joining me recently, but he's eleven so it's only a matter of time before I'm too slow for him.
Mrs edlong occasionally joins me but rarely. I tell her where I'm heading when I'm going off solo.
Love it
99% of mtbing and 50% of road rides are done solo. It's good to have company on the road, chatting away as the miles pass ๐
Mostly alone. I go out often during the work day for 'lunch' so can't ride with mate. At the weekends, if i ride locally, it's alone... Trailcentre stuff i ride with mates though.
