How many forum rides have you done?
Started thinking about it after Jason mentioned that I could attend more weekend rides in the other thread. I started counting, not bad I guess. How many and which have you done?
1st GMR ride
GMR ride with Tiffany and James
Bloat Ride
'Erb's Beach ride
Erb's B2B ride
Erb's B2B again ride (cyclocross version)
SART forum ride
Goodbye GMR ride
Not doing the double GMR ride
Breathless Agony (if you would consider it a BF'er ride, there were so many)
10 total!

Is this any ride with another BF member, or just those that are
somewhat organized?
I think it's around 7 or more somewhat organized,
(3 Road, and 4 or so Mtb.)
and a few where I met up with BF people on other spur of the moment rides.

My first is one of the later TdSS I think; with another one that has a similar route. Route-wise, I only remembered a nice stretch that is on the then-new-yet-unopened road.
Other than that, there's the Irvine->SD Burrito ride, 3 GMR rides (2 to village and 1 to East Fork), and one that ends at Dan's place for a nice BBQ.

Not enough. These rides are the best. I'm going to go out on a limb and say these rides are the most fun I've had with a group ride. I'm fairly new to the Bike Forum crowd, and wish I could do more (but being 350 miles away, it makes it kinda tough)

Memorial Day Ride in San Jose
Mt. Baldy Village (Not Doing Eastern Sierra Pity ride)

Last year I actually planned on 2 but got called in to work those days... being a SART rider, some of the rides intimidate me.

Zero. 
They're all too far away. Well, ok, the IE tour one wasn't, but I think there was a race that weekend, and there was a race the weekend of Breathless Agony as well.
It's nothing personal guys/gals. On the weekends I'm *not* racing I'd just as soon ride from my front door and have the rest of the day to relax, and/or do housework/errands/laundry, as opposed to spending it sitting in traffic on some freeway.
With my irrational hatred for driving I just don't think I'm cut out for this suburban living thing. I need to move to a bike friendly city with good public transpo, or get a unabomber shack in the woods somewhere...

Add Torrey Pines time trial this morning, and I'm up to 32 forum rides that I recall. (And Poway Century, Palm Springs metric, and Breathless Agony this year might as well have been forum rides. Especially Poway and Palm Springs.)

I haven't gone on any yet - although I have met a few of you.
But just like Trevor said, nothing personal here too. The main reason is that I have a 22 month old toddler that takes up most of my time. Consequently, my mid-week base mileage is from bike commuting to work (that is, more time to ride because I'm substituting driving time with riding time). I do get in a weekend morning ride (either Saturday or Sunday), but that is usually rolling out the front door at my first opportunity - it's hard for me to go to a ride where I have to drive first or coordinate with others.
I consider myself lucky that I've still been getting in 100 miles on good weeks!
