I've been doing Sunday group rides for the last 2 months which are catered to beginner-intermediate cyclists and we typically average between 15-16mph for 30 mile rides. I'm looking to try some Saturday rides elsewhere to learn from others also and prepare for Levi's GF. Are there any group rides you can recommend that are located in the Peninsula? Pen-Velo will possibly have a no-drop ride this weekend. Has anyone ridden with them?

Haven't done the Pen-Velo ride myself but the Alto Velo B-Ride, while technically not a "no drop" ride, does have regroups after major climbs and long descents. Mileage is generally 45-60 miles. Average speeds depends on hilliness of route, which changes weekly. We leave Peet's on State St. in Los Altos at 9:10 sharp.

Steve, are you the organizer for the B-ride? If so, I emailed you probably a month or so ago. Good to see you on here! I was concerned about some of the hill climbing portions. :)
