Overall the bike and I were received very well. I did my best to fit in with the group. As usual on rides such as the one I road people tend to break off into small groups with similar riding abilities. However in case it was more like choosing the speed at which I wanted to ride. I road with a group doing about 12mph letting them set the pace the full way. I was the bike's and my test to see how we'd perform over 35 miles at 12mph. The bike finished using just over half of it's full charge.

I'm sure there are a few who dismiss my participation in club rides as not putting forth the effort that others do but there were no outward displays. In short the club promotes biking and I was viewed as such. Oh and they are a great group of people.
