I would love to belong to a club with long rides like the Freewheelers. Maybe I could find the time/ambition to organize some long rides within my own club. (I can sit and wish or I can do something)
Riding with a bunch is a lot of fun. That is what attracts me to events like the "Ride for Heart", (riding on the DVP is darned cool and fun for any level of rider). The "Ride 4 United Way" was a great ride. (A good place to stretch your legs, A ride not to be missed.) I managed to find the Starkville Steeple two or three weeks after the ride. The "Hastings Highlands/Bancroft Hilly Hundred" is a ride that I never want to miss. (Great challenge. Backwards seems to be the hard way.)
I am really going to think hard and try to get involved with my own club and test my organizational skills or lack thereof.
