Hi,
Joined at the beginning of the year. Only have about 60 miles on my bike (2002 Cannondale R400 CAAD3). I was at the Feb. meeting, and have been trying to get out and ride when the weather permits.
Hoping to find some other beginner riders and start up a group ride on Saturdays if anyone's interested?

Hey John, look at joining the Social Group rides on Saturday. There is an intermediate and a faster group. Get some group riding skills and miles on the saddle. Several race team members have come through this route. Others have gone on to ride with the Ultramilers. There is a ride within the club for everyone...if not, create one!!!

Would join the Saturday rides, but they conflict with my work schedule. Hoping to either start a Saturday evening group ride, or join up with the Sunday Talgaters ride. Gotta get some more miles on the bike before I'm ready for the Sunday ride, I think.

Hey John, the Sunday morning Tailgaitors ride is an "all comers" ride. It is conducive to riders of all ability. Two regroup points. There most likely will be a rider there of your same ability. We generally have a "sweep" (that would be me, when I do not have an event, since I like to use that as a recovery ride after a hard Saturday ride) so no rider has to ride alone.

Steve

Well, maybe I'll try to make it to the next one. Didn't go yesterday because I was still pretty beat from the 23.5 miles on Saturday, didn't know how tough another 38 would be on me.

welcome john!
i met you the other night at the meeting...i sat across from you.
i remember when i started riding...i got 5 miles in and i was happy. your new to the sport and already riding 25 miles, you will be ridng the sunday rides in no time. as steve said, there are riders of all abilities on that ride you will find your group really quick when the pace kicks up. just keep riding and you will be riding with the front group in no time!
later
