Hi Brad-My wife and I joined DATES last year, but have yet to make any of their rides! We are very active with the Lone Star Cyclists club here ( I am the ride co-ordinator) and ride with them on Saturdays, so Sunday tends to be our 'off' day. We have met a lot of the members, though, and they are indeed very nice (it's that tandem thing again!) Look for us on our blue Trek! George-
