Dale I know how you feel :y114:
Dale, the way I see it is that I don't have as much time left to ride as you and Dave; therefore, I want to get all the riding in that I can!
Right on Carl :y115:

Stunning looking country and it looks like you have a nice turnout not too many riders :y18:
We ride in small groups. There is no set agenda and no organized group rides. SC Bonnie prints out several routes - some very challenging and some very scenic as well as everything in between. We simply decide where we want to ride and invite others to ride with us. I broke off from one ride and did some exploring on my own. Everyone, even in the smaill groups, are encouraged to ride at their own pace and within their comfort zone. We always pull over and wait for slower riders after a set of twisties - to make sure everyone is OK and to take the pressure off of having to keep up. Some of us (me) do not have a lot of experience with the twisties and we have to sharpen our skills.
I think I could quite enjoy riding in a group like this :y18:
I think you would really enjoy it. I would place myself in the bottom end of the medium skilled riders. I frequently ride with the less experienced riders to encourage them and give them some tips for handling the twisties. A less experienced rider could include a rider on a bike that is new to him. Most of us are not speed freaks. We are their to have a good time.
This is what I like I hate it when I am invited on a ride and it turns into a race :silent:
