Hello, I am Brent and I just recently became a member on the forum. I have been riding a cheap road bike for about 2 years now but have recently committed seriously riding. I am what would be called a clydesdale unfortunately and I am riding for fun and fitness. I really need to drop a few pounds! Anyway, my wife got me a new Motobecane Vent Noir for christmas so I now have a much more dependable bike to ride. I was just curious to see if there is anyone on the forum from my area that I could may eventually meet up and ride with once I get into a little better shape.. I see others while riding but I have never talked to anyone on my rides. Also I am trying to find out what kind of cycling routes there are in the area. I am kinda getting tired of my 20 mile and 30 mile routes. Anyway, I look forward to great advise and maybe making some new friends on the forum!
Thanks,
Brent
Hello Brent, welcome to the forum. I am from farther west Texas, and I fully understand the rides by yourself. Keep up the riding.

Hi Brent...and welcome.
A quick google search yielded this website for the Waco Bicycle Club: http://www.teamwbc.com/
Don't know anything about them but it's probably a good place to start.
Hi Brent...
Yeah www.teamwbc.com has a list of rides they do from Mountain bike to easy road rides... I have yet to get brave enough to join any of them, but have heard they are pretty good rides and nice people...
