Weekly MTB slow-ride?

[severine]

I missed out on the entire MTBing season last year and I don't want to do it again!

Is there any chance of setting up a weekly slow ride for those of us who are NOT super-aggressive? One thing that kept me from getting into it last year was the fact that so many of you guys are pretty fast and already quite skilled at the stuntery--which is intimidating for those of us who are not. But I don't feel comfortable going into the woods alone either. Anybody interested in this?

For the next month or so, pretty much all rides will be slow . Seriously, just come out on a ride and don't worry about it. Also, check with you local bike shops to see if there are any womens rides. I know my shop has one or Two women only rides a week.

School screws me up a lot for timing things... hence my questioning here if there's interest in composing a group who is willing to do a less-aggressive ride.

Steveo - I am looking forward to that!

NEMBA is hosting beginner rides twice a month - the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month. We're supposed to be riding Gay City tomorrow, but I think it will be rained out. Watch the CT NEMBA blog for more dates (http://ctnemba.blogspot.com/p/rides-rides-rides.html)
