This is great that you are familiar with the routes near here. So would you be interested in helping me plan a regular weeknight group road ride on this side?

I agree that it can be a challenge to coordinate schedules with everyone so busy. This was the same where I used to live, so we just had a weekly group ride set up, and whoever could make it would show up. We would make sure to have at least one group leader there, plus ideally a "sweeper" to bring up the rear. We provided maps to new riders, plus also marked the course at each turn.

That way people can ride their own pace, and meet others who ride a similar pace.

Any night would work for me except Tuesdays, since I am planning on giving Eire's Tues. night MTB ride a try once I'm healed.
