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…….
