Argh! Sorry I haven't been perusing this forum ...
Comments.
Urban Assault is a blast, even better with snow on the ground (I'm a female and yes I ride with them - last year somewhat - this year I'm geared up for it). I also ride mtb with a bunch of crazy guys on Thursday nights - which totally reinforces me for when the TUNA starts up on October.
Now as to regular riding - I lead rides for the Rochester Bicycling Club - my rides are a route on the canal path (I'm number 346 BTW - hehe - Shoen place to Genesee Valley Park and back). You do not have to be a member of the club to join in. The Canal rides as well as about 5 other routes are what we class as the Short & Easy rides - geared towards beginners, people getting back on the bike and for people who just like that speed. Generally we do a casual pace along the canal, and I as ride captain ride in back to make sure no rider is left behind whether due to being tired or due to bicycle failure. THese are fun rides.
And next year, due to popular request from some of the frequent flyer milers of the S&E rides - were doing a more moderate ride - taking a route similar to the S&E rides but extending it abit - and they will pick up a little more speed too.
But what makes this longer ride different from the regular bike rides the RBC does (and a lot of people are dropped right off the bat as some of these guys are fast) - this moderate ride will incorporate the same principles as the S&E ride - no rider left behind and the ride captain at the back.
I'm anticipating a good year for these rides.
Seriously people if you want to ride and want to get out and try it again or just get yourself so you can go further - go to ....
https://www.rochesterbicyclingclub.org/
and try a ride(s) with us. Note the S&E rides do have a notation that they're S&E. If you want to ride - call the ride captain.

I am in Penfield and usually ride Mon, Wed, Fri, & Sat. On the weekends we like to try to do a lake ride (Skaneateles, Keuka, Canandaigua, etc)
We would love to meet some other cyclists in the area. I think I am going to try what is referred to as the "Latte Ride" in Pittsford this weekend for the first time.
