Melissa and PAB, thanks for the offers!
VeloGirl - read your story in one of these threads. An awesome story. Would like to come out sometime but uh.. well right now I'm equipment handicapped but I'm trying to remedy that (I do have my mtn bike w/ slicks on it. Just not a real roadie).

A mtn bike with slicks is just fine, especially for the beginner ride. Don't wait! Everyday you don't ride your bike is a day you don't ride your bike (kinda Yogi-ish, eh?).

roguedog,
I'd be happy to ride with ya, even if you have a mtn bike with slicks.
If you want to put non-slicks on your mtn bike, there's a couple of very nice, non-technical trails I can show you. I'm just not sure how well the slicks would do on an unpaved surface.
velogirl,
I've admired the VeloGirls from afar for quite a while, but also had the impression that they were too fast/strong for me to ride with. One of these Saturdays I'm going to have to make it up to one of your group's rides. Unfortunately, I have plans for the next couple of weekends.
