Back in the day before I moved we used to have a couple of group rides each
week. Wednesday nights beginning about 6pm and ride for a couple hours.
It was a group thing both male/female, slow ride thru town/residential areas
and enjoy each others company. On Saturday it a faster pace covering about
35+ miles or so. Just never got with another group after the move.
Our local bike shop hosts those types of rides. They host road rides and trail rides. I have thought about going on some of their trail rides but most of them are so young that I doubt I could keep up. In summer they have family rides at the local Greenway and as soon as my foot is 100% I might give that a try. There is a Baskin-Robbins on the trail and they always stop there for ice-cream. The road rides are way too difficult for me. I live back in the hills of TN and they would lose me after the first couple of steep hills. LOL
