The first year, we tried to do our own ride. Due to a wide, wide variance in interests about length of rides, when to get started in the morning, tolerance to heat of various participants, differing personalities, etc., there were certain noticeable and frustrating problems.

Last year they tied into an already established ride, and piggy-backed on that. I believe the logistics were easier the 2nd year.

I think the west coast - nor cal or Oregon would be worthwhile.

We tried to have various rides to meet the needs of a broad spectrum of abilities and interests.
