RIDING PARTNERS   URBAN legend, they died off when straava started, now i have guys who ride roughly the same time as me, same route but i dont see them,,,,,then i got "mates" like the OP who rides in my woods and i dont crack invites

Having an awesome riding partner is one of life's best treats. My other (better) half has become my riding partner. Yes, I am no longer riding as much or nearly as fast as I was, but she's quite competitive, so in time that might change. For now, it's been such a super awesome experience to have zero guilt when dragging the bike out for a ride, as hers comes out too and instead of feeling like you're going off to selfishly enjoy yourself at the expense of your life partner, you turn around and see them smile back at you before the words, "let's go!"

 

Mine also packs in a large helping of biltong, nuts and superC's!

I ride lots of different folks, but the most inspirational is a man whom was hands and feet we hurt as a child in a fire.  He has adjusted his braking and gearing to compensate.  He does not feel sorry for himself or make excuses instead he puts an old camelbak filled with 8kg of sand on his back, gets on his mtb and sets the pace for all of us.  I call him "Drill sergeant"  because he challenges me up the hills and makes me bleed.

I have several riding buddies, all great:

 

1. My 76 year old father. I ride one road race a year with him and we both treasure it like it is the one and only race we'll ever do. Planning to ride the Argus with him again this year.

2. My 14 & 15 year old sons. No matter how much I struggle to get them to wake up early (teenagers!) and go for a ride. The mere fact that they do it with their old man qualify them as super riding buddies, even though I make up the drinks, pack the food, pump the tires and service the bikes. I've NEVER had a bad day on the bike with them!

3 Beattbox! We somehow complement each other on the tough long rides and especially on multi-day races. In all the years, not once did we have a fight, I think, mostly because he is a proper gentleman and his word is his word, always.

4. Pain Or Shine! He's the one that always wait for me on the mountain, both going up and flying down. He's also the one that picks up the pieces when I break bones and has to be gathered up and taken to hospital to be put back together. (He's a bit squeamish, so I appreciate it a huge lot.)

My riding buddies are awesome because they always wait for me   

 

They wait for you cause they like having someone scary in the bunch to ward off muggers, etc...
