Doing a group ride tomorrow in Portland, OR
I am a new rider. I got my bike last summer and rode it until the rainy season kicked in. I usually do a 22 mile ride about 4 days a week and then a longer ride on Sat/Sun. Unfortunately, my riding partner is injured. So, I am going to join a group ride on Sunday that the Bike Gallery hosts. I've never cycled in a group and I'm nervous. I've never ridden with other women and I'm excited!:D I hope I can keep up. Right now my pace is about 18 mph. I have noticed in other posts that people refer to being "dropped". Is that when you are riding too slow and people don't wait for you?
