Looking for a ride partner
I live in San Jose and always looking for a ride partner. Male or Female doesn't matter. I've been riding for just over a year and only now starting to do some rollers but need to start out doing some small hills. I usually ride around 35-50 miles on a Saturday. Looking to try and tackle Mt. Eden road via Stevens Creek reservoir or some of the climbs around McKean rd near Calero. To be honest, any ride is a good ride just don't like to ride alone.

Any time you think you're ready, sport...... 
I'll probably do a ride Saturday, if you're interested. Moraga, Livermore, Diablo.... I'm flexible.......

This Saturday is out for me but first weekend in October is open. Please don't pic some hard ride. I don't want to be embarrassed by your fine cycling abilities.

Hey have you checked out these guys? Almaden Cycle Touring Club https://www.actc.org/index.html
They seem like a nice low-ego bunch and they have a lot of south bay rides of all skill levels. I found their page when I was looking for good routes to do -- and came across this awesome page maintained by one of their guys
https://home.att.net/~bikemaster/routes/
