First of all, I wanted to say that I have tried this before and it failed. Secondly, I set a goal of 2,021 miles for the year and currently according to my Strava account, I'm 282 miles behind schedule. I'm also two weeks past my last dose of the Moderna Vaccine, so I should have a more protection against the virus than I did. I'm not ready to go out and eat inside a restaurant, but I think that cycling with a small group of people outdoors is relatively safe. Daylight Saving Time starts on Sunday and it would be a good opportunity to get out with others and ride. I have ridden with a few forum members over the years on an individual basis and those of you have ridden with me know that we do distance from each other socially. I was wondering if any of you would be interested in riding every Tuesday and Thursday evenings on the trail and even going off of the trail into the neighborhoods, if the group wanted to do that. I figure if I think I have someone to meet up with two times per week, that would spur me on to get out there to meet up at a specified location. If no one else showed up and I rode 5 miles to get to the meeting point, I would at least have 10 miles for the day by the time I got back home.
Another factor in this is at a friend of mine and his wife, with whom I have ridden with for almost 30 years retired in July of 2020 and moved to Minnesota. They were people that I rode with regularly all during that period,
I can't always get off at 5 PM every day, but I thought that if we meet on the Trinity Trails, at 6:45, we could at least ride a little bit and we would increase our time as the daylight hours became longer. I have found that about the earliest I can leave my house is 6:00 PM on a workday. We could meet on the Clearfork Main Street Bridge. What do you all think and is anyone interested in doing this all summer? Weather permitting, we would start on Tuesday, March 16.
