Going forward into 2016 ... just in case anyone here is interested, there are Weekend Rides threads each weekend in the Road forum. The Road forum is a friendly, welcoming forum, and of course, you are very welcome to add your rides to the Weekend Rides threads and to comment, in a friendly way, on other people's rides.
