Thanks for the input. Susan, it's good to hear of your experience. I suspect you are in waaaay better shape than I am, so I am inclined to think I will be out of my depth. But then, maybe not, since Mary relates that things are a bit different these days. I am still undecided as to whether I should do it or not (although I need to decide before tomorrow). I definitely need to do some serious training for the RSVP. It wouldn't kill me to be left behind on a training ride either. Come to think of it, one of the fellas who complained about cascade, also complained that OUR group was too fast...

I'll also echo Susan's gratitude to the club as well. Even though I haven't had the courage to show up on the free daily rides, I too have benefitted from Cascade's advocacy, and have enjoyed many organized rides and classes.
