I am new to this particular group but, from what I understand, Sam is fairly new to cycling altogether. Given my own recent entry with this group, I hesitate to say too much directly just yet.

However, there is a ride leader- a guy that I work part-time with. Next time I see him, I think I'm going to speak with him.

It's so frustrating, cuz this is a "rip your legs off" kind of ride, and I was so stoked to find that I could hang with these guys. Except when on Sam's wheel
