Ridding partner
I need a ridding partner. Started ridding every day, and there’s really only so much to do, or so far to go without someone else to ride with. Someone else who has an XC Hardtail that doesn’t fear doing a little bit of offroad would be awesome too! I would really like to eventually ride the entire Katy Trail, possibly at the end of the summer when things cool off again, or whenever. Actually go out and spend 4-6 days just ridding the whole thing camping out and all. The trail is 500 miles (to St. Louis, and back) but has plenty of stops along the way for camping, food, and other various rest stops along the way. I’ve never traveled more than 150 miles on it so it would be interesting to ride the whole way. For those of you who haven’t been, the Katy Trail is an old train track converted to a cycling trail, so it’s mostly flat, and very few inclines those that are present are very low grades so it’s easy to travel 100 miles a day or more. It would just be a lot of fun to get away from everything for a week. Here’s some photo’s of the trail from various photographers, I was really looking for this one that was taken from a bridge that crosses the Missouri River at one of many places where the trail runs right alongside the river and there are high bluffs on the side of the trail with the MO right on the other side, but I couldn’t find it.
Do you ever have troubles just saying what you should? Ok, so the truth of the matter is that I don’t really need a ridding partner, I need a life partner, someone who can hang out and we’ll just do life together ya know? Ok, so probably not. Thing is there are some things that I just can’t do alone… none of us can, nor were we designed to. Before most of you close the page with the notion that I’m just here rambling on about how I so need a girl… you’re wrong, this is another issue, don’t get me wrong I’d like a girl, but I’ve actually become content in the last few months waiting. We all hear from church leaders and everything about how we need to find someone of the same sex that will understand many of our issues to talk with and keep accountable to God with… Every time I hear anybody start any kind of speech like that the walls go up instantly. A lot of you know that I don’t hang out with many guys, heck some of you know that I don’t trust guys, and even know why. Am I trying to pass the blame for my downfalls off on my dad? No, and in all honesty I’ve long ago forgiven him. He still annoys the crap out of me, and there are times where I go to the hilltop sitting alongside Jonah, but that’s not a daily thing anymore. Either way, also doesn’t mean that there is a single guy I can think of that I would even begin to talk to about my issues. Not even Jordan… yeah we hang out often, and I don’t mind doing work for the guy, but even at that I can still find excuses as to why I won’t talk to him about anything more than Company of Heroes or websites. There really is nobody at the church I go to that I’d be comfortable with, so I figured it would be easier to just find someone with common interest… Oddly enough I could think of tons of my female friends in whom I could confide, I only don’t because I’m not sure if they’d understand, or something to that nature.
