I don’t do group rides and I prefer to ride lone. I’m at the point in my life I don’t want to follow a route and wonder what someone else wants to do. I want to ride slow, stop and enjoy the view. I want to take pictures when I want. Stop where I want to eat.

I have a job where I’m told when to start, to break, to have lunch and go home. That is enough of being on  a schedule and being told what to do.

It is a nice gesture but I don’t like when people ask me if I’m okay when I’m resting. I’m sitting down and having a snack and some will ask, “Are you okay?” Just because I stop doesn’t mean I’m hurt or have bicycle problems. Sometimes a person has to take a break.

I like hole in the wall cafe’s. Though in the San Francisco Bay Area that is becoming hard to fine because of rents and they are closing. It is either some fast food place or some place that if serving some kind of fancy food.

Ride far and slow. Have a nice snack. Repeat.
