Next season I am going to be my club's group ride organizer, and I'm looking for some input. I know many of us have had varied experiences on group rides. My question for you is: what makes for a perfect group ride?

Would you like to have a map? Do the same route every week? Have A and B rides with different avg. speeds? Have one day of hills, one day of intervals, etc. or just a nice social ride where you can catch up with your cycling friends?

I'm looking to appeal to the people who are already in the club but also to attract other women to the rides, so that we have a good turnout every week.

Thanks for your help!

Kate
