Hello, I'm new to this forum. I've been riding off/on for the last 5-10 years but I'm looking to get more serious and maybe start competing. But before I can do this, I have a lot of training to do. :) I was thinking of also trying out some riding clubs and group rides in the San Jose/Fremont area.

BTW, I ride a Trek 5200 road bike.

Don't know much about the east bay, but Bicycle Outfitters has a great weekend get-together! They're in Los Altos.

Welcome! And don't forget to post pics!

Welcome!

As far as recreational clubs go, you can check out Fremont Freewheelers (http://www.fremontfreewheelers.org/) , and Almaden Cycle Touring Club (ACTC) (http://www.actc.org/) , for South Bay. Lotsa great rides all days of the week.

For a racing emphasis, you can look at San Jose Bike Club (http://www.teamsanjose.org/) or Alto Velo (http://www.altovelo.org/) .
