I too, do alot of riding on my own and really enjoy it when I can ride with someone of compairable ability. Anyone who wants to ride along is always welcome and if I just have to go faster, I just ride up a ways and ride back or If I think I will be frustraitingly faster, I will ride my slowest, heaviest bike.

I've forgiven them and moved on.
