I was in a cycling club years ago too. I may have not seen everyone every week and may have not formed deep friendships, but make no mistake friends were made. The amount of shared experience between peer and “friend” can be negligibly small. I haven’t seen those guys in years but I know if I reached out thered be welcoming open arms. My experience is that if you want it to be more, you have to make it more. Friendship in adulthood must be worked/earned—it doesn’t just happen. Sux—I wish it came for free like it did in childhood. Anyway, i agree with unihacker. Dont give up man. You already know how to take the first step—you’ve demonstrated as much. Be confident taking the second!
