Have you checked out the BR Bike club? They have group rides just about everyday and it's diff paces/miles.
The DH has done a lot of riding in St. Francisville. He works north of Zachary so it's very convenient for him to ride there during the week. Also, my sister-in-law lives there. I'm not quite up to the hills yet. I'm a very new rider having to learn how to clip in and out and turn and pretty much everything else. My longest ride so far is 40 miles on the flat road at Alligator Bayou. He wants to try St. Francisville this weekend, but I'm not sure if I'm ready. My knee is just healing from my last fall so I'm a little nervous about falling yet again.

I'm glad to hear BR Bike Club might have some rides I could do. I'm still a little nervous about riding around a bunch of people. The hubby wants to ride the Katy Flatlands next month. I doubt I can make it through the century but I might give one of the shorter routes a try.

Have you done any of the BR Bike Club rides? Do you have any recommendations for a new rider?
