My LBS also held a Women's Ride Day event sponsored by Specialized. It was the first group ride I have participated in and while I was super nervous meeting new people, it was a fun time. (I usually only ride with my boyfriend or my sister-in-law and her sister)

Until yesterday, I had only rode my new road bike twice: to/from my boyfriend's house and the bike shop for fit tweaking. It was amazing how 12.5 miles in the chilly wind just flew by because I was chatting with other women the entire way instead of focusing on the wind LOL

I think that I will start riding in the local no-drop club rides now
