One friend. Three friends of friends. Five months

it hasn't even been a month, and we lost another one. i didn't know him, but many of the guys i ride with do. i asked chatgpt if this was typical for our area and unfortunately the answer is yes.

i'm thankful i have a route that is all trails to white rock... one can loop it as many times as you can stand to do it and get in your miles. trying to be smart about this. maybe the answer is to move somewhere that's safer i dunno.
