Am I ready for a group ride?

[7rider]

So I'm voting for going on the group ride, and you and your DH meet in the parking lot at the end. Riding within your skill/comfort level, or maybe pushing yourself a bit harder, will keep the peace between you.

My DH and I do this all the time. He takes the long route "with the boys" and I take the shorter route (with the ladies and the old men! ). We meet at the end.

I hope you did the ride...or plan to do it next week. You got some good advice from the women here. I won't state it again, but I think group rides are a great way to boost your riding confidence, get stronger, and meet a whole bunch of new folks....while having a darn good time in the process.
