Old Plank Trail?

[Trek420]

Yes, there's a Different Spokes club here. I've ridden a couple of their rides. I ride to ride, also ride to eat

If I meet or get to know someone out there, it's wonderful but not a social much less single thing to me.

As far as clubs go I prefer the Velogirls and/or Lunachix or a good ol' TE ride because of the emphasis on safety. There's almost always a talk before the ride, they teach ride skills before after & during the ride...

I'll give DS another chance but the two rides I went on with them, no safety message, lots of passing on the right, blowing though stop signs....funny thing the last time I rode with them:

There was a DS women only ride and on Alameda Creek Trail last season I think and I thought, hey, I'll go, I like ACT, it's nearby, what's not to like?

So we meet up, no safety stuff, ride out, I'll admit I ran some stop signs gingerly just to keep up then we get on the trail. Lots of riding two abreast, chatting along the blind turns.

I got in behind a couple of gals, newer rider along with a gal on a Trek Project One riding side by side. Those of you who know me I'm not fast but I did not want to be behind the debris if they hit a rider around a bend. So I clear my throat (subtle is my middle name) no response, call out "passing on your left" ...nothin'....try it again, ah! Success, they figure out who drops back and I pass.

As I did "newer rider" starts to sprint after me and I hear Project One gal say "nah, you don't want that".

Alrighty, if you're lurking, what did that mean?

She must know about my hat collection ;-)
