Hi all! Just wanted to pop in & say I'm still riding the Saturday morning group ride, but am becoming discouraged. I know it's only been a little less than a month of group riding, but the group ride is still leaving me in the dust. Tom(LBS owner) stays back with me and continues on which is nice, but I'm becoming entirely discouraged!

When out on these rides, he tells me that I really need to go to the Wednesday night rides because there are riders more at my speed (average about 14.4-14.8 mph), the problem with that is Wednesday nights are my grad school class.

So, quite frankly, my training for the September 30"Conquer the Coast" ride is not going so well, simply cause when I ride by myself, I don't really get as good of a workout, nor do I feel comfortable zooming down the interstate all by my lonely.

Any advice??
