I just got back from the ride. Those folks were GREAT. We had a wonderful time and I joined their bike club. Only 5 of us rode today. We were supposed to do 30 miles (5 miles longer than my longest ride). We wound up doing 41 miles and I kept up the whole time. I feel great. Ok, I feel hungry and a little tired, but mostly great! This group is more into touring than racing and they are very casual. I felt really comfortable. I'm riding with them on Wednesday.
