You know what's funny about that, on Saturday someone asked me if I had just been to the track

Makes sense, though I don't generally ride with people I don't know and if I do I keep my distance regardless.

I was sorta the same way, but a buddy of mine and i talked and we wanted to try and meet some other riders this past year. We chose another forum and went to some rides. Needless to say the first friggin ride a guy goes off in the woods and totals his bike. I hated it, the rider was ok, but i had a bad taste in how the ride was going so we busted off and did the rest of the ride on own. Third ride with the same forum and another guy goes down, by now i am having serious thought about riding with new people.

Ended up sticking with it and rode maybe 8 to 10 rides with new riders this year including a ride last week with 9 riders. Of those 9 i think i had only ridden with maybe 2 or 3 of them before and maybe only once or twice. We had a good ride.

Anyway i am Waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy of topic here and rambling.

Hurry up spring......
