Group Rides in DC area for Ladies Just Beginning on Road Bikes

[tulip]

Ladies, if I still lived in DC, I'd take you on some GREAT rides!

I hope you all get together soon. Try out a PPTC or Oxon Hill ride together, and then you'll have cue sheets and can keep each other company.

Have fun!

I know lots of fun routes and am always looking for company, especially on weekdays (most of my fellow student cyclists for some reason like to ride really early in the morning).

A word of caution: I'm in the midst of race season and trying to train pretty hard, so you'd have to be able keep up. Not that I'd offer to go on a ride and then leave you to get lost (I will regroup after hills or whatever causes gaps in my group, and I expect those riding with me to do the same)--after all, if I say I'm going to ride with someone, I try to ride *with* them. So, get me your road bike cruising speeds, and maybe we'll be able to get together. I don't mind if you're a bit slower than my hard ride pace. I put in a lot of time in the little ring just getting in the miles, especially later in the summer and towards the fall, or if I'm tapering a bit for a race.

If you're anywhere near Frederick I'd be the one to ride with.
I don't race and I don't hammer anything. I just enjoy the sights, the air and the feeling of the human as a machine.

I'm slow but sure.

I'm slow but sure.

Just how I like it.
