Can't say I've ever experienced that - but have had trouble with the men accepting that I can ride better than the majority of them, and would be in top 3-4 in our group, on occassion even leading the rides. Some guys just can't handle a chick in front

Those who can't handle the jandal, no longer ride in our group - shows the weaker sex (ha ha he he he)

But the big question is - do you finish before they guy has got started?
Apparently being quick is not a good thing

or has this happend to other women?

I've been going along on regular rides with a couple of bunches of riders. By far the majority are males of various vintages. Several times I have had the riders pointedly making reference to their wives when it really wasnt part of the conversation. In one case, one of them felt needful to tell me outright that going out riding was in fact 'not a date'

What the fuck? I am riding with these folk because I like riding in a group and need the onroad time to improve my appalling skill level. NOT i repeat NOT to try and hook up with someone.

I was puzzled as to why they would feel the need to do this. Then I was mortified that I may have been doing something that would make them think I was interested in them rather than the riding. Now Im just plain f****n pissed off.

To the point where I am seriously considering not joining in anymore. FFS, I assume they are there to ride, what the hell makes them think they are so f****n attractive that I would be distracted from my desire to ride and overcome with desire for them?

Is it just that my startling resemblance to a old knobbly spud is so marked that they feel the need to say 'gross, I find you unattractive" Again that would come back to them having the unbelievable attitude that they are so attractive that I would fling myself at them. er...not even

Is this a common reaction from males toward us homely females? Can I assume the pretty ones don't get this type of reaction? Or is it just that they can't believe that a mature woman would be so keen on riding that she would actually be keen on riding?

What do you think is going on?
anyway, I feel better for having had a rant. Off to work.

Well Ratti, 127 replies later......"is it only you".....What do you reckon now?

While I am on a role .... I am also not into the mentality of rides that involve quick sprints between pubs, getting liquored up and then another quick sprint to the next pub where the barmen know you by your first name. Who wants to ride/be associated with that sort of dumb mentality!

My thoughts .... feel free to add yours

Ratti,

While I have had a bit of a rant over a post from a particular female rider (who shall remain nameless), I agree with Tart. There are plenty of us Males out there who just want to ride for the enjoyment of it, just like you. Sometimes sprited, sometimes not, but at the end of the day it is all about the ride with similar minded people. Sounds like you have been riding with a group of wankers.

My thoughts

As I used to be a local in that area, why would it be a surprise if the publican knew my name? And as for drinking and riding - I see no harm in 1 drink during a ride. I do not drink much at all - ever! A quick sprint if I am in the mood is up to me - but my post was regards to men riding and women riding in the same group..........
