It doesn't always work so well Crinkles. As you know, I've been nicely marginalised from some circles by doing the same thing in the past. I need to get better at compartmentalising my life.
However, this time it's been a lovely thing - although thinking about it, the two circles of friends have been out together on a bike ride while I'm at home on the sofa!
There's definitely a pattern here
Thanks again to all who have supported this ride with advice and turning up in person. It's a good place, this.
