If there are any new road riders in the Hartford, CT, area who have never ridden in a group, you are welcome to ride with us sometime. I started road riding/group riding last summer, and it is kind of intimidating at first. We have some lovely routes up through South Windsor and East Windsor that are fairly flat and quiet. They are great for new riders. And we won't push you or drop you.

How beautiful to ride your first ride with others in such a stunning setting
Glad it went well - if you get the right people to ride with it makes such a difference to your confidence and to the fun you have from the ride
Wishing you many many more fun rides like this one

Congrats on your great ride! I'll bet the view was absolutely gorgeous. Make sure to take them up on their offer to ride again.
I just started riding with a group too and they are awesome. They are all experienced riders and very willing to help me out. Even though they are all 30-50 years older than me I have plans to find another group. Their generosity and experience is too great to pass up and they could kick my rear on any given day.
