Thanks for the kind words, 7Rider! Doing the club ride was a blast! I could kick myself for not coming out sooner to join you. Since it was my first group ride ever, it was a huge confidence booster for me. Not only was it fun but I met a lot of nice people. And I finally got that satisfying feeling that I used to get after my long marathon training runs. Try to show up early next time so we can ride together
