just me?

[Lee_M]

I regularly ride with my local club and love it to the point that I am away this weekend (with my bike) but can't be arsed to go out as I get bored on my own.

Is it just me?

Yes, I'm happy to cycle alone and I'd never join a club

Fair point...would I however want to be part of a club that would have me

if in London, you could have joined the CC ride to Southend

Would I join a club that would have someone like me as a member?
ooops, beaten to it

I prefer going on my own. I can go where I want, when I want and for as long (or not) as I want.

Clubs are not for me. I like to go out and ride, smell the roses and see the sights not blast around the roads. I enjoy riding with friends and the CC rides though.

my club rides are rides with friends. and they usually include coffee and lots of cake. they arent balls out chain gangs - we leave that the the cat A riders in the club

I'm not a member of a club (and don't aspire to for a couple of reasons) but I do enjoy riding more when it's with a small group, informal preferably, the miles do go by much more quickly. So I get you.

Are they riding back?

Probably too late but go for a taster with a local Southend club for a change?

i suppose the other part is I ride with my club in North Wales, so lots of hills, whereas in Essex I live on the coast so the choices are more limited and flat, and I'm bored of basically riding the same old route

The local club route is basically the route I do all the time - I think I'm just bored with it. No matter what route I create it basically has 30 or so miles that are always the same - just a matter of whether I turn left or right out of my street!

 

[Lee_M]

anyway back to north wales tomorrow so I'm sure I'll get out and do some hills and feel better

As an 80 year old git, I prefer to cycle on my own. Unfortunately I've knocked a few people off their bikes lately and I'm worried about getting sued.

I would recommend only knocking off idiots then.
