i have sunday and monday off. i would like to do a ride say to abby or mission or fort langley if the weather is not too horrible. i don't mind the cold but cold rain is pushing it. i would easily change destination. anybody up for it?

I usually ride with a group Sundays, and I agree about the cold, wet weather. But I get occasional Mondays off, and would like to ride some longer distances...what kind of k's are you talking about? And what level rider are you, as in speed?

hey thanks for responding woodstock! i ride daily helps me manage my arthritis. i would like to increase my endurance. i have read that riding with others will help. did a few critical mass rides in abby last year was fun. i think my average speed at least with the cold lousy weather is barely 20 kms an hour. wearing 80 pounds of clothes! i have mondays and tuesdays off. i would be willing to try 20 to 60 ks with ya? to give it a try. thanks again
