I just ride, and have done for most of my adult life. Used to ride with family as the boys were growing up and they would pester me to join a club but when I relented we found we weren’t clubby people so carried on as we were. I also had a mate who would do trailquests with and I still ride with him but not tq any more. When the boys grew and moved, I met a few mates on a poodle and we still ride when we coincide but with family commitments that’s less often atm. Now I usually ride once a week solo, once at weekends with one pal, in the week with my old tq partner and once with me old gel, but tbh I would still ride a shopper bike with a toddler if that was what was happening
