Bay Area Riders?
Hey all, I'm new here and new to riding. Do any of you know any groups who go out, namely groups who are either newbies like me, or take it slow guys that would allow me to ride along with them. It's much harder to get out consistantly by myself.

i ride in berkeley a lot by myself. i would enjoy having someone to ride with on weekends or week nights.
also: these guys seem pretty accommodating to everyone. i've never ridden with them, but i'd like to if i remember...next time they're riding and i'm free.
edit: i usually ride up through the hills (tunnel rd. to grizzly peak), at the marina, and sometimes i go to lake merrit and do a few loops down there, then ride home again. drop me a pm if you wanna meet up some time.

It's a good group - social rather than super-competitive. You should give it a try.

Ruirui,
You can ride with a club without joining the club. They will make you sign a release at the start of the ride. You can check out the ride schedules for Western Wheelers and Almaden Cycle Tour Club at their websites.
