.....or 2 or 3 to be a riding buddies. Or a woman. I'm a straight male so don't let the title put you off. I don't want to go down the club route but would like some company over the winter months for weekend rides of up to 5 hours at a relaxed pace, to build base mileage. As the months get warmer, I want to up the pace somewhat. I live just west of Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk. Anyone?

I answered a similar request for a MTBing buddy about 10 years ago.
Bloke seemed OK. We went out cycling a few times. Started going to the gym together. Introduced each others girlfriends. All four of us started cycling together. Then meals out. Then dinner parties. Even, after a few months, a MTBing weekend in Appletreewick in the Yorkshire Dales.
All seemed normal until.........
One Friday evening I get 'stood up' at the gym. Everybody asks 'where's Dave*?' Including his girlfriend who was supposed to be meeting us there.
Long story short. Turns out Dave* was busy bashing in the head of his mate's wife. Then throwing her in the pool, along with the cat, to make it look like an accident.
So be afraid. Be very afraid.

Ooh bugger. My names not Dave or Darran. Doesn't even begin with a D. Maybe I'm better off solo? No, not the bloke from Star Wars. Christ, why does everything become so complicated?0

Is this true :shock:
Whilst I like company on bike rides it can make life more complicated getting it organised or if you are not at the same level of fitness ... which over a year you are unlikely to be...I would try a club meself....0 -

I'm in your part of the world, and generally head east when I venture out. Rarely get 5 hours to myself though; usually 2 or 3.
I like the sound of 'relaxed pace'. Not so sure about the 'up the pace' bit though.
You should be aware that having just turned 53 I'm no David Millar. But on the plus side I have never killed anyone's wife / cat.0 -
Oh shiiit schweiz.. :idea:0

I'm looking for a cat to accompany me on my weekly trip to the swimming pool. Must have own trunks.0
