I started riding with Lone Star Randonneurs, and that has furnished me with ride buddies for weekend rides. Weekdays, I mostly ride by myself, or do local club rides on occasion.
When I first started, the local bike shop had a "non drop" Saturday morning ride that went 20 or 30 miles, that was good for people like me.
