Thanks for the reminder about the Carrollton Cycling Club. I need to check out the no drop on Mondays, when the weather is bad on Tuesdays (as it has been).
Pooks, I ride with the Greater Dallas Bicyclists. http://www.greaterdallasbicyclists.com/
They have MANY rides to choose from. Depending on your average, you will typically always find someone to ride with at any given ride.
RBM does have rides, but honestly... I wasn't too keen on them. Most of the people were too fast and no one cared if someone got dropped. With the GDB people know me and typically notice if I'm not around. I know I can count on my cycling club buddies to keep an eye out for me, which is nice.
I ususally ride all weekend long, but it changes up where I ride depending what I have scheduled that day.
For example, last Sunday I had to ride 20 miles and run 3 miles, so I headed out to WRL and skipped cycling with the club.
This coming Sunday, I'll be out volunteering at the Play Tri from 6-10 AM. Once that's done, I am going to ride around Las Colinas with a friend for 25-30 miles and then head back to cheer on some buddies crossing the finish line.
If you ever want to ride, shoot me an IM. I will give you my phone number.
