    What you need is a girl in your life who rides...

    It's good if she's into biking too :wink:

    Can be but only if she is actually any ever good. otherwise your stuck with a lass going slow terrified every ride.. but she will want to be there for every ride so you never get to hammer it :P

    I might be doing a little bit of riding tonight, prob push up the raven walk to get to the top and go from there. Be bout 6-630ish by the time I get home sort dog out and what not.

    It helps when you build her a bike with Tora forks and stick a very stiff rigid fork on yours... :wink: Was painful at first, but now we do have the odd moment where i am left behind :oops:

    Im still aching from the weekend, think doing the full thing would make my legs pop! If you see a guy with a dodgy beard on a cube give him a cheery hello :)

    Don't think I saw ya. Unless I did and was just in my own world o.0

    Out of curiosity how long does a full loop take ya?

    i usually ride alone as no mates of mine ride that live near me. i ride with a few mates sometimes if they have time as they live quite far from me/ they live in manchester while i live in northwich

    I ride on my own a lot

    None of my mates close by do hills :x

    Do ride with the other faries every 2 weeks most of the time though :P (I'm normally the slowest)

    Ride almost always alone, mainly because I can't get to group rides due to times and it being hard to get there :cry:
    Must say though, riding alone you can push yourself, limit yourself, turn wherever you want to (don't do trail centres) make up where you go as you go. It's easier.

    Rarely ride at weekend so alot of my riding is alone. Solo is a much term. Has lots of benifits. tomorrow i aim to link another group of bridalways together or I may head off and try to grab a photo for the photo challenge. i will be sorting my squeaking brakes 1st, The day is mine to play around with. though thats rare too.

    See i like the odd solo ride, But i find i take the downs a little bit more sensibly on my own as i don't know when the next guy to come down to scrape up my remains may be :(

    I always ride alone. I work most weekends so cant ride when everyone else does. Does mean there's less traffic on the trails though!

    I hate riding alone. It's just boring
