Bike Fitting

[Biciclista]

Sometimes you just have to hold your breath and jump in. You might find some nice people. And ask them about bike fit. I know there's a great bike shop in Salem... ask them about bike fit?

Narragansett Bay Wheelmen does lots of group rides in the area and has a great Century Ride (TFCE) in September. Check out their website for lists of rides and dates.
I have never ridden with them but see groups out and about when I am riding.
I have done TFCE and it is a well organized event

Thanks for the info on NBW. Everyone has been so helpful here.

AMC does not have a lot of drama. The rides are fun and social. They require a leader and sweep and no one gets left behind. The "beginner" level rides are generally at an average of 10-12 mph and the intermediate rides are about a 14-15.5 average, but can include lots of miles and/or big climbs. There is a guy named Joe Tavilla that leads rides for the SE MA chapter, on the Cape. His rides are very friendly; he belongs to both clubs I listed and I have ridden with him a few times.

As Biciclista said, sometimes you just have to hold your breath and jump in ... I just don't want to experience another ride like my last. I had the accident, but may have had less of a chance of having an accident had I not been left behind. I don't want to mention the group's name because I'm not here to slander any one particular group, however I am trying to 'feel' my way around to find a group that will 'fit' my interests and share my interests.

Thanks for the info about AMC, I think I'll look them up and try to meet up with them hopefully soon when my hand heals and it is safe to ride again.

Thanks Biciclista ... that's exactly what I say! LOL! I don't tip my toe into the water before I jump in, I just jump in because the water is going to be cold whether you feel it or not. Just get the initial shock over with and then it's done! Simple as that!
