I've never made it out to a Wednesday night group ride; what's it like? How many miles total is a normal run? Would it be a good one for novice riders, or a bit much?

Thanks for the info!

It's a just-fine ride for novice riders, as long as you're comfortable on stuff like Stony Creek's single track. It's a no-drop ride, so no one will get left behind. I think the route is right about 8.5 miles, with sometimes a little bit more added on to that optionally by some.

Come on out!

Yeah Di...we are just incredibly picky about what we want so the search has been a bit difficult. Tonights home looks like an excellent match so hopefully we can move forward with it. We'll see...
