What was your best ride lately?

I still like riding, but now every ride has enough pain and anxiety, that it's not the same as it was before. I just keep at it. Hoping that someday I'll have a breakthrough and can have that real satisfying ride again.

Do you ride solo? I'm in Brentwood but my oldest is moving back home and got an apartment in Walnut Creek so I'll be out that way more often. Riding with someone else might make the miles go by more smoothly and pleasurably. Let me know and we can roll together sometime. I've had three rough crashes the last four or five years along with seeing a buddy go down HARD going about 50mph down the east side of Kirker three years ago so I know that anxious feeling along with riding in pain.
