Riding Solo

I love this sport...I love the feeling of dirt under my tires, the wind in my face and the amazing camaraderie of fellow riders. I have been riding since before suspension, disk brakes and clipless pedals...but for some reason since getting back into riding after my injuries I have been feeling awkward, slow and a little off on my bike. I gained some weight and lost a bunch of my fitness during that time and it has really hit me hard. Add to that the confidence hit I took when I crashed and sprained my ankle...well, to say the least it has been less than stellar comeback. 


When I have been on group rides, people are waiting for my slow ass...up and down the hill, not an awesome feeling. So to let my friends ride at the pace they like and to help me regain my fitness and confidence, I started exploring a new area...riding solo and loving it.
