The cycling club has several rides all at the same time. We are going to join the new rider group. From what I've read there will be actual first timers like us, and also some people who have been riding a few months and the group has leaders for the front and the back so no one gets left behind.

Thanks for all teh great advice. Our bikes are getting tehir 30-day tune up today so they'll be ready for our ride. It should be fun!
