It's a well run, and supported ride from what I've heard from others. Seems like I always have a conflicting ride on the same day, and this year's no different. Have fun, if you decide to go!

Yeah it is a pretty nice ride, I did it last year and the support was very good. Seemed to be well run.

Looks like this fell off page 1....bump.
Anyone go out riding today?
It was beautiful, a gift from the cycling weather gods. I went out with my usual wednesday club ride gang...55 miles in beautiful chester county. Started off in the 60's but quickly warmed up to 80ish. It was an amazingly good day and a good ride. But with the heat I had to drink a lot more than usual, I went through 5 water bottles in just 3 hours!

Didn't get out today, but yesterday I did the clubs regular Tuesday evening ride. Pretty warm, but only 1 bottle downed in 26 miles. A new guy showed up, and it was his first group ride ever. Chatted with him a lot, and shared what little wisdom I could offer. I asked him what he thought about his experience at the rides end. He said he enjoyed it very much, and next time he won't forget to bring some water. I was like dude, why didn't you say something, most of us had 2 full bottles and only used 1. Any of us would have gladly given him our spare. Oh well, I bet he hit the first convenience store or drive thru he saw on his drive home.

I'll be moving to Philadelphia this fall (from Albuquerque) with the bikes. Excited to ride a new city and explore! (plus it gives me an excuse to get a new bike, since neither of mine have clearance for full fenders :) I commute everyday, and try to get a couple good rides in before work during the week plus one on the weekend.

Yep, we have lots of group rides if you're ever in the area. Clubs link is above, and there is a ride calendar right on the front page. A lot of the weekend rides don't get posted until midweek. Keeps the calendar fresh, and gives ride leaders a chance to watch the weather.
Plenty of time to ride, so make your health the priority. Of course, I'm sure you know that already.
Good luck and good health,
Denny

Naah! We have a bunch of no-drop recreation rides. It's about being out with others, and making sure everybody returns safely. There are always strong riders in any group, but we have a lot of regroup spots along the way.

From Berks County, PA...just want to say hi. I've been riding bikes of one form or another all my life. My home is within a mile of endless rural roads for the road bikes, and short drives to many awesome trails for the mtb. Anyone ever looking for a change of venue give a shout...always looking for new riding friends. 610.781.2600.
Hi!

Just wanted to introduce myself to this discussion. Im Brandon from Pittsburgh (south hills, castle shannon). I got into road cycling 2 summers ago, but then I tore a ligament in my foot last spring and wasn't able to start riding again until fall, but then work had limited to riding. Now I have a new job, and riding will be a little easier, that is until my first child is born in May. I would like to join some group rides one of these days, but im sure it will have to wait until the baby is a little older.
