I am not a fast rider, I average about 12 mph, which seems to be consistent no matter what the terrain. I think my lack of being fast is what keeps me afraid to go to some club ride where I don't know anyone, and why I ride so much better with my family, who have to love me no matter how slow I am.

I would like to do that actually! I would be up for 9AM. I'll have to double check where Riley's Lock is. I'm in Germantown so I'm OK with where Poolesville is.
