Yes, they turned out to be pretty nice once we got over the bad experience I had back in April. They had an 'instructor' for their beginner's ride who dropped me and insulted me. He also practiced unsafe cycling, grabbing my arm at one point and not announcing obstacles. At one point I hit a orange safety cone and almost fell in traffic. I threw a fit on the ride twice. By the second time all the other riders, one of who was the club president, voted to end the ride. I posted about it to Bike Forums ("Clyde Dropped On "Instructional" Ride") and to the BCP email list, where it was a topic of conversation for more than a week. The club dropped that instructor.
Oh, I also purchased arm-warmers that match the club jersey. They are bright yellow. Neil F. will be so jealous! :-)
