Group ride in southbay (SoCal)

[txaggie99]

Hi gals- I am looking for a group ride (preferably women) in the South Bay area. I am not a great rider, so I could use an easy going group with a variety of skill levels. I am looking to get better and riding with my husband is just frustrating at this stage. Anyone know the feeling? I am new to the forum, so any info would be helpful.

Thanks a bunch,
Shannon

uh... Southbay where? I see you have Redondo as your location.. there is a Southbay in San Diego as well...???

and yes, I DO know what you mean... when I was new, riding with my now ex-DH (and the D does NOT stand for "dear" ) was miserable... you're smart to find people that are closer to your level but that will still give you incentive to improve...

Sorry, South Bay is in Manhattan, Hermosa, Redondo or Torrance area. I didn't realize there were so many South bays!

Hi Shannon. I live south of you in Huntington Beach, but if you ever want to ride, give me a shout! We have a VERY ACTIVE so Cal subforum over at Bike Forums and we get together nearly every weekend to ride...either rides we plan ourselves or organized centuries/metrics. All of our rides are no drop and very social in nature. We just started getting together recently...since this summer and these people already feel like family...you won't find a more welcoming group!

Here's the link to our forum...Bike Forums southern California

We can get a little wild and silly in the forum, but we're all harmless. Mostly.

Hi Shannon

Please go to Open Topic > Getting to Know You and let TEers know a bit about you!

I ride out of Torrance. Wednesdays are my easy-ride days (it comes after my Tuesday run-hard days) but I get out pretty early – first light – if you can make it. Torrance Beach to Marina Del Rey, easy 13-14 mph average. I'm in the same boat, my riding pals are are experienced triathletes/Ironmen and I can't keep up with them. It would be nice to have some company!
