I have been looking to join in on some group rides and it seems that there are quite a few routes out towards Alvin. I am sort of apprehensive about riding solo on a new ride, but may take a swing at it. My normal 10 mile loop is nice for a lunch ride, but I really want to get a weekend ride that is longer (20-30 miles?). I just need to get with it and hook up with one of the local shops and see what it's like.
