Stp

According to the Cascade forums, the STP is 75% sold out, so if you've been considering it...don't dawdle.

I'm signed up and starting to train. I have a friend who is riding with me, but we have completely opposite work schedules and we don't have an opportunity to ride together. I also worry that she will eventually back out due to lack of training.

That brings up the larger point of why I'm returning to posting these boards after lurking quietly... does anyone know how to go about finding someone to ride with? I'm a pretty slow and steady rider right now... averaging 11-13mph. I'm pretty beat after a 30 mile ride and need to improve on that a lot. I figure there are plenty of women out there like me, but I just don't know how to find them! I don't want to spend the next 4 months riding totally alone.

Check out the rides calendars of Cascade or BIKES club and you can find rides in your pace range:

Also, if you have Wednesdays free, I'd be happy to meet for a ride. You could also ask on the Cascade forum as well

Good luck,
Laura

Hey, thanks! I'd love to meet up, but I work a regular MF 9-5 (or rather, 9:30-6) job. I will check out the cascade rides, though. :)
