Any road cyclists out there?

Did my first group ride this weekend - it was a real buzz. 90km with a bunch of hills, group riding was a new experience but good fun, a few more things to think about but in a good way!
And on the way back to town the fast boys picked the pace up... and up... and up..... to see who could hold on! I couldn't eventually!

Recommend it to anyone!

Bought a Felt a few months ago. Just getting into it. Really liking it so far.

Hell yeah. I love to bike and living in Iowa we have one of the premier biking events in the world called RAGBRAI. Come do it some time; it is a blast. Here is a clicky to my riding team for RAGBRAI. RAGBRAI is like a Mardi Gras on wheels and like I said it is a fun ride. Last year we went right by a DZ and several jumpers on the ride were able to make a jump together.

Think of how stupid the average person is and realize that statistically half of them are stupider than that.

Used to be a rampant roadie. But after moving through a succession of areas that are terribly anti-cyclist (as opposed to the in-hindsight very pro-cycling area I got started) I let it drop. Was fun, but not worth the risk.

Love it. I used to do it a lot when I lived in Texas. Not so much now. The area where I live is not really hostile to bikes. It's just that most of the roads have no shoulder and the cars go 60 mph. It gets a little scary, so I'm more particular about where I ride and I don't do it as often. Maybe your post will inspire me to get out a little more.

I do the UK coast to coast every year and when living in San Antonio did the trip to Corpus a few years. Good times, but enjoy my MT. Bike much much more.
