Riding Alone - Getting Bored With It

[101lifts2]

I ride every Sunday with the same group. We meet up at the same spot and ride the same road over and over and over again...but it never gets boring. It's like a track day every weekend!

See, I ride the same old roads all the time. When I go out with a good group of people, it's great fun. Alone, it's just not the same. The roads are also in the middle of nowhere. So, if I happened to go down all alone, I have no idea how long I would go unseen. That tends to make me hold back some.

We did ride Lookout Mountain and Golden Gate Canyon together, but he lives in the mountains while I live in the city. Plus, he's crazy fast and I'm not.

Just last week, a woman riding in her car went off a mountain road. She survived at a very cold 8,600 feet wearing just a t-shirt and jeans. While injured, she took five days to crawl 450 feet to a gold mine that was giving tours. She had half a golf club to help her crawl and to fend off wild animals.

Well, my road is full of cars. lol ...and yes riding alone is boring and I don't ride nearly as fast alone vs. someone pushing me. I think it has to do with lazyness though.
