Cmon it’s ladies night and the feelings right .. (c’mon sing it with me!! haha)
I love night riding. It’s such an exhilirating feeling. The cool night air, the dark sky, the rush you get while passing quickly through the brush. I love it all. There’s just a different feeling about a night ride.
Wednesday night I was able to head out with a couple of gals from a local womens biking group, the Trail Angels. I love riding with the guys too, but it really is a different vibe when it’s just us ladies. Can’t put my finger on it, but it’s just a lot of fun. We giggle a lot more..and we have more courage when we’re out with each other. We spur each other on, and cheer for each other when we’ve conquered a new feat.
Patricia, Christine and Me.
I definitely encourage you ladies to search for other women who enjoy the sport as much as you do. I have often heard that it’s hard to find other women who ride – tis true. But we are out there, I promise! I was able to find this group of ladies through yahoo groups. Of course we need to be wise about it too. I had heard of this group also through mutual friends so I felt great about meeting up with them. We always have such a good time when we head out.
In fact, if it weren’t for them taking the time to teach me a few things and to give me the courage when I needed it, I may not be able to do half the things I do. 🙂 We all need riding buddies like that. So check out your local bike shop, ask the guys if their wives will head out with you some time, check your local gym. Just get out there and ride!!!! 🙂
