Last year was my first year for the group. There were all skill levels, from women who just wanted to try mountain biking out to hard core racers. It was very friendly atmosphere, and it was great having the more experianced riders giving tips on technique. Depending on the group that would show up we'd try a trail that every one could ride, or divide into two groups. It was really a great experiance and I can't wait for it to start up this year.

BTW- there was also a road biking faction of this group, but I only attended one of their rides. Once again it was a good group and no one bothered me about being sluggish on the ride (lots of hills, early in season and I was riding a mountain bike without slicks - that's my defence and I'm sticking to it!)
