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

[Trek420]

Women's Casual Ride-This is a causal-paced ride that will use a combination of bike paths and streets. This is suitable for all kinds of bikes (and all kinds of riders!). The ride will begin and end at 3020 Minnehaha Ave. South in Minneapolis at 6:00 pm, every Monday from April 16th through the end of August.

Hey, Climbergirl, Now, that ride sounds promising for your neighbors to gear up for. I hope you'll let them know.

It sure makes winter easier with something to look forward/train for/goal next season. Back when I was in sunny, very hilly California riding with the Velo Girls Club I'd meet some folks at their club rides. We start and end together, my fast friends way ahead during the ride. I'm more the "Where's the hill, point me to the hill, I'll get there" kind of rider. Slow but very strong and steady. Stronger now I think since I lost the 20 lbs or so.
