I'm in your club, so I guess we're not that solitary. I used to ride with my stepson but he's...ahem... away right now. Also, I locked his bike to the clothesline pole and lost the key. (oops)

One thing that's different about me is that I live less than 4 miles from work, and most stores and stuff are also close. My commuting and utility riding is usually less than an hour a day. So, in order to get in enough riding, I get to do a lot of fun rides. I even get in some mountain biking in the warm weather, and ice biking at this time of year. I highly recommend that you try to get out on some more fun rides also!
