I've been riding by myself around DC and have decided it's time to try some organized ride (plus, I just bought a brand new Felt Z65). I'd llike some company.

I found "Babes on Bikes" during a google search and signed up for their e-mails. Is anyone a member of that group, or another cycling group that could give me some advice.

I looked at Potomac Peddlers and was intimidated by having to know what "class" you rode, etc. I think at this point, I'm looking for "no drop" rides. I'm not horribly slow (do about 15-20 on my hybrid and hope to go faster on my new road bike).

Also, I don't have a "day job" so I'm free to ride on weekdays.

I guess I just don't know where to start!

Thanks,

Cindy
