I don't care for riding with a big group, I always get dropped. A couple of my riding friends have been on vacation in PA for 3 weeks, so hopefully when they get back we can go for a ride, I always like that. I love riding our tandem too, but my Captain (husband) is out of commission with a broken arm for the next 8 weeks. I'm hoping retirement will really do it for me and make me want to ride a little more. I only have about 1380 miles so far this year.
