    Candisc discourages pacelines but hey those two days that were 30 mph+ headwinds everyone would have died had it not been for drafting. It was hard for the person pulling to stay out front for more than 1 mile.

    Thanks for the web site - I'll have to keep this in mind and see if it works out
    We have cycling classes through the University PhyEd program... So I've been doing that this fall. It's sort of hard for me to do it in the Spring, work keeps me away for much of Jan. and Feb. But, I'll try doing it next semester too.

    Pacelines make me nervous too. And actually, now that you mention it, I have read that the Tour de Kota discourages them too. However, I've done other rides with people and followed behind them. They're people that I knew, plus a couple others... It seems generally that groups stick together and pick up a couple others occasionally. We're not talking 20 people... maybe 6 - 10 maybe? At most? Though a small crash happened during the MS150, I wasn't a part of it. Everybody ended up being ok... one person trashed their bike though.

    My 2007 cycling goals are pretty simple (and, like mlove, pretty modest in comparison to some of you ladies!):

    ~Commute a bare minimum of 6x/month April-October~
    ~Ride a half-century at least twice~
    ~Ride 1500 road miles in 2007~
    ~Enjoy my bike!~
