I ride quite a bit, just for fun. While I'm not overly competitive, I do enjoy pushing the limits sometimes of what I think I can do, if I'm feeling up to it. Other times I put on my cutoffs and converse sneakers,and cruise downtown for lunch, or something like that. I feel each kind of ride fits a need. I enjoy group riding, but haven't done much of it lately, it can be tricky to coordinate some times.
