Expectations from a paid riding club?
I decided to join my first club to start participating in some group rides with hopes of meeting other cyclists, improving my training etc. In 5 months since I paid to join the club, there have been 3 rides. I was not able to make it to 2 of them (scheduling conflicts on my side) and the 1 ride I have been on had a turn out of a whopping 8 people and they cut the ride at about 15 miles of slow, flat riding. I was expecting the 1 "group" ride per month that the advertised among other perks that have yet to be delivered. This is a club affiliated with a shop and they have excuses every month for canceling rides (mostly due to everyone being busy with their race team). I think if you are going to charge money for people to join your club then you should find some people to run the rides on a regular basis. Are their races every Sat and Sun every month? Am I expecting too much?
