Anyone in CO want to ride with me?

I am a new rider and want to get out more and ride with someone. I went on a group ride with one of the bike shops in Denver and it was great! We went 42 miles and did several hills. That was my first group ride and second ride on a road bike. But, I felt as if I was holding the group back. Everyone was more experienced then me and had better biking legs. There was supposed to be a newbies group that rode out together at 9:30am, but no one showed up but me. I can go the distance, but not as fast...I want to ride more, and I want to meet people. I am kind of lonely here and you biking gals seem very nice. Is there anyone out there in the Denver area who wants to ride with me?

If you ever come over to Grand Junction, bring your bike and I'll show you the great rides here!

I'd love to ride with you but I'm going to be out of town for 6 weeks.
Check out the Denver Bicycle Touring Club (DBTC). http://www.dbtc.org

The fun rides often split into 2 groups and the Roses rides are a slower group that stays together. You'll also learn the roads and bike trails in your area.

The ride schedule is posted online.

Thank you Surly and Kathi!
