I haven't had a lot of opportunity to ride with our club because of scheduling conflicts. However, I haven't made to much of a point to try, either, because I figure I'll just get left in the dust anyways. Yet, I discovered our club had a new women's only ride every Sunday afternoon. I tried it last weekend and was excited to actually be among the faster riders. We stopped a million times to wait and then one gal and I got so far ahead, we missed a turn and lost the group all together. I made a point to hook up her (exchanged phone numbers) and she almost went on a beach ride with me and another girlfriend of mine the next day, but couldn't make it. The point is, one group is too fast, the other is too slow, so I worked at making my own group of women riders. I also find sucking other girlfriends into riding helps! (I just snagged a new one who bought a bike yesterday. Woo hoo!)
