Brian validated my desire to ride, and to ride the way I LIKED to ride and let me know that; since there was another JUST LIKE me, that I wasn't so very odd (not a sports nut, or golf freak)

Damn....it's only been 3 months but it feels like it's been 5 years

Thanks for the comments everyone

It's a shame we don't live closer; based on some of our conversations, it seems we'd get along pretty well. Hope things get easier as time passes.

It takes time to find someone you gel with so well, especially during the "off-season" for riding. I've had to repeat the process a few times due to moving for my friends moving away and it always takes time to find another niche.

It will happen though, and as you start to ride with them you'll begin pushing one another's skill level and you'll have "that guy" to ride with again.

I was thinking the exact same thing. This spring we should all head out for a ride. If I'm not working by the ~May timeframe, I was planning to take a month off and just ride aimlessly. Maybe I should stick around the NC/GA area for a few days of it.

I've got vacation and a cast iron ass!

Perfect! I guess if I *am* working, I could just take a few days off and ride local too. So either way we should put it together. Would the weekend starting 5/8 have any known obstacles for you guys?

LeeNetworX · 12-10-2009, 11:34 AM

My calendar is clear for that week. If we come up with some concrete dates, I'll be sure to put in a request for time off after the first of the year.

I certainly didn't mean to offend. Sometimes it just takes someone outside of the situation to put a mirror up in front of your face. I was jut making an observation on the way your first post came across.

I know the hurt will never get "better", but it will become easier to deal with in time.

14-16 works for me. Lee? Maybe we could head out Tuesday that week to avoid some of the weekend traffic? The few times I've done these rides, Tue-Thu are by far the best riding with minimal traffic.

I'm with Lee, let's get some dates hammered out and I'll plan around them now, new job or not.
