Aha, my fears of the Acura Bike Tour are well-founded! Thanks for the tips. I'll definitely look into them.

As far as clubs in my area go, well, there are at least a dozen of them, so I definitely can't judge all of them by the one I tried. The especially dispiriting thing here is that, given the wealth of choices at my disposal, I zeroed in on a gay and lesbian riders' club, figuring I would already have something in common with the group instead of just being some random person with a bicycle. Needless to say, my tribe let me down in this instance. Bad gays!
My Experiece has been the Gay guys are still... well.. Guys even on a bike
