May 1 ride

[DebW]

I went out for the first of the Tuesday night women's rides sponsored by NEBC. It was a blast and I plan to attend regularly. We did a 20 mile loop at a pace of around 16+ mph, but there were 2 or 3 other groups so everyone could chose a comfortable pace or get instruction in pacelining. As someone who doesn't ride in groups very often, this was a low-key comfortable way to ease into group riding. SheFly led the group of 8 that I rode with. It was beautiful to see her lead the group, then drift to the back and pick up stragglers, then charge back to the front in a burst of power. The route was nice and took me to a lovely hill I hadn't been on before. Looking forward to future rides and gaining confidence at working in a group.

DebW - so glad to hear that you had a good time last night! I think the group worked well together, and I had a blast meeting new people. Also glad that you will be coming out regularly - that was the overwhelming feedback that we received!

For anyone else in the Metro Boston area - Tuesday evenings at 6:00 pm on the Lexington Green. This is a WOMEN'S ONLY ride that caters to all ability levels with different distance routes and coaching on paceline skills etc.

Hope to meet some more of you as the season progresses.
