I rode with a bunch of women today. Single Track Sistahs, in fact, a local women's MTB group.
To be honest, I was really skeptical, but I guess the proof is in the riding -- I had a great time. The character of the ride was just very different than what I've been doing. It also seems like I could make some friends this way, which is something I've had trouble doing since moving out here.
I'd like to ride with them again, but right now I have a martial arts class every tues/thurs, and their rides are every thurs. It's a bit disconcerting to find that I might actually value riding time over MA, but that's how it feels to me right now. Guess I need to make it work.

You mean it's a difficult choice?!!!! Oh Monique... tsk tsk... ;-) Good to hear that you had fun. -- Westie (Replace 'invalid' with 'yahoo' when replying.)

Sweet, too bad we don't have anything like that around here. All I ever ride with are knuckleheaded men who like to beat their chests with pride like big apes.

LOL! You should come ride with JAR. We have a couple of girls who act just like those men you ride with.

Ah the competing passions dilemma. You might have to jettison extraneous activities like working and sleep to free up time for for what's really important. It's nice to have a mix though, to avoid burnout.

I told you so. ;-)
It's not that it's better ( or worse) but just different. A good different.

I know you did =) In fact, if I hadn't been so tired last night, I'd have made reference to you in this post.

Definitely. I wouldn't give up riding with Eric in favor of this group .... but it's a nice change of pace.

"Don't visualize."
Well, if they're busy beating their chests, it should be easy to pass them as they tip over on the trail ...

The trouble comes when the competing passions are scheduled simultaneously. I still haven't solved that "two places, one body" dilemma.
