Thanks for the info. I actually had my first ride with "the group" yesterday. It was great the hills just about killed me but I enjoyed the challenge. It is very hilly around here so I am gonna have to get used to that. I have seen several different types of shorts and ended up buying a pair from REI that are bike shorts underneath loose short (I felt a little silly in the spandex). There ok but I think I am gonna have to go with regular bike shorts and maybe just some loose shorts over them till I hopefully thin out some.

Lovin the spandex
