Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Tampa, FL area group rides...?

Recently moved to Tampa Florida. Looking to meet some fun cyclists, make some new friends, and join some entry level group rides. I can cruise solo at 15-18 mph and I top out at 30-35mph. 25-40 mile rides are my usuals, 3-5 times a week. Ive seen quite a few groups all dressed in team gear, and I feel like thats too advanced for me currently. I am a capable cyclist, however, I have very little experience in groups. Any leads? Thanks.

I don't live in Florida anymore, but...

St. Pete Bicycle and Fitness has a really friendly shop and they do beginner/moderate/expert rides on the weekends.

I've done their Christmas rides a few times now.

Great group of guys/gals.
