The funny part is, she stayed up with all the other riders while I stayed back with the slowest riders. It was a BIG group, around 30 people that showed up for the ride. Of course we had to stop at stop lights, we regrouped at two different points so myself and the slowest riders could join the group again. I certainly hope she can find a group that suits her. Most of the time when a rider says they are a beginner--they are really a beginner and I'm afraid they won't even be able to do 25 miles or 10 mph and don't even know the basics of riding.
