I'm SLOW, even when I "think" I'm fast, LOL! I just like to ride, the health stuff is a nice bennie but I don't try to go out "Warp 10", just to get fit. Beating myself up to me is NOT FUN, (ymmv), I ride to see what's out there. We went on our first "Club Ride", last Sunday, it was listed as a "Social Ride", at the first stop, we "volunteered" to be the "SWEEP" riders cause it was more like a "Social RACE" to us! Ain't interested in "miles of sucking someone's rear wheel", that would be "hell" in my way of thinking. We will probably stay members of the local club to support their, "local government work for bicycles" but I doubt we will "ride" more than "now and then" as it seems when you get a "group" of bicyclist's together, they have to go into RACE mode no matter what "type" of bicycle they own. Jmho.
