I'm envious of all these long rides! I got home in the late afternoon yesterday from the mountains and took my cruiser grocery shopping to two stores. Then came home and couldn't let my new bike sit idle so we went around the lake just for fun. Mid-60s out, sunny and gorgeous with a little wind. I'm having a hard time gripping the brakes from the hoods so I'm looking forward to my fitting next weekend.

MartianDestiny, I have been browsing local group weekend rides on different websites just trying to get a feel for what's out there and where I might fit in, do you recommend any for a beginner? Both sexes or just women?
