Help! Need to ditch slow neighbor! (long-ish)

Thanks, Cathy88! I've tried to keep an eye on the TCBC calendar, but I hadn't seen the Hub's calendar (I test rode bikes there, though!) I'd love to meet some other women who ride. Evenings might even work out when the kids don't have school. For now, juggling part time work and family, I usually ride alone during the day and devote evenings to dinner and homework. It's nice because there are fewer cars on the roads mid-morning, but it also means it's REALLY hard to find people to ride with, especially since I don't really know anyone in the first place. :-P

Maybe we'll luck out (for cyclist - not for farmers!) and have another winter like last year. I rode at least once every month.

Climbergirl - you might also check out the Hiawatha Bike Club. They offer different levels and seem to have a lot of "older" and retired riders who can do day rides. It would also give you a chance to explore the west metro.
