I have been lurking on this discussion forum for the last month or so and have been impressed with the classiness of the participants and the quality of the advice that is given.

About 3 weeks ago, I participated in my first Sprint Triathlon and just loved it, especially the cycling portion of the event. Since then, my husband has watched me read through this discussion forum daily, purchase a new road bike, new cycling shoes, new cycling clothing gear, new cycling books, new cycling maintenance tools, etc. etc. (you get the picture) .

Does anyone know of any groups in the area that have local rides that I can join up with? I have cycled with the DallasAthletes and have heard about rides with BicyclesPlus. Right now, I am cycling alone on the weekends about 20-25 miles, but would love to hear about other groups. Also, do these groups usually charge fees for saddling up with them?

Thanks in advance.
