Weather is starting to look good on a regular basis (minus tonight!) and I'm seeing more seasonal riders getting back out. Is it time to consider getting this ride going?

I've been making it out every night that isn't below 15 or snowing like mad. I think I'm ready to get out with a few hardcore riders. It may be a good idea to bring others out who are of similar speed and endurance to assure that you have someone to ride with. Check out this link:

Being dropped will probably be a common occurrence. I hope I get dropped at some point! Which won't be hard. Some will ride through stop signs and lights while others like to obey the traffic laws. This ride will only be rewarding for those that wish to compete against and improve themselves. Each week will be an opportunity to give it all you have and see if you can hang with the rest. As a reward, I think this ride needs to end someplace where we all eventually meet up for a meal and/or something to drink. That way the stragglers have something to look forward to after a hard ride, too.

So, thoughts? What times and days do you think are best and would fit into your regular schedule? Any thoughts on a regular meeting place? Somewhere open later that serves cheap hot drinks and simple sugar foods would be nice. We don't have a cool 24 hour donut shop like Tang's in LA, but I'm sure there's something we can substitute for it. Any suggestions are welcome.

I'm excited to see if someone can rip my legs off or vice versa! I wanna feel the pain every week.
