Any slowpokes near Burlington, N.C.?

Hey Teresa! I'm in Durham (not too far), but I'm sadly probably a little slower than you are. Check the Tarwheels (if you haven't done so) - www.tarwheels.org - lots of rides in the C pace, and generally a good group of folks to ride with. They have a "chat" and an official mailing list - great places to find more local riders

Teresa - I'm nowhere near your location, but I don't think you're at all slow! Left to my own devises, I tend to level out at 14-16 mph, too. When I ride with Mr. Sheesh, I like him to lead because it forces me to chase him, and then I can cruise a lot faster. But, I don't naturally sustain that pace on my own. Hopefully I'll get to that point within the next year, but for now, I'm pretty happy with going at my own pace when I'm riding by myself.

Thanks to both of you for answering me! I will check out Tarwheels. I appreciate the lead. And 14-16 is my best average. There are days when I don't even hit that. Both of you were very encouraging. Happy riding!

Hey Teresa!

My husband and I are in Greensboro just west of you. We should get together for a ride! We tend to average a little faster than that, depending on the length of the ride, but we like all types of paces. We'd gladly ride a fraction off our normal pace to ride with other folks. Sometimes the social rides are way more fun than the 'fast' ones. I know you've got some gorgeous riding territory your way, so we should totally get together! My H works in Burlington, so he knows the area pretty well (I don't, at all!).

Send me a PM if you are interested and we can try to set something up!
