I wish I had some local riding buddies. I'm good with motivating myself to commute but sometimes I have a hard time getting my rear off the couch to go on evening/weekend rides. I'm a bit wary of trying out the local clubs since in reading their websites and online schedules they seem more intersted in pace lines and vo2 stuff than in grabbing coffee, ambling around and lookin at girls on the beach boardwalk. Hey, I'm old, not dead!!
