Warm greetings to everyone,
I am a new Reston Club member and have just recently picked up road bike riding after 30 years of in-activities.
I am interested in doing an "unsupported" Century ride monthly the first Sunday of the Month (Saturday is daughter's girl scout activities - chauffering,...). following the route map of the Reston Century Ride 2009. I have not yet obtained the route map. The pace is easy social ride 15-18miles per hour and unsupported so we have to be self sufficient. ideally, if we can start at 7:00AM, we will be done before 2:00PM and still catch up/not missing out other family actitivies in the afternoon.
My ultimate goal is to form a group or join a group of tourers to do 200-300 (or longer) miles over 2-3 days weekend tourings on a regular basis.
I am middle aged and in average good health. Currently I am commuting 20 miles a day 3-5 times a week and riding both Saturday and Sunday. I ride mainly for mental health/relaxation/stress relief and for better health.I have no ambition to do a 22-25 MPH group pacing race like riding style. It took away the enjoyments and the camaraderie among riders on a weekend relaxing ride in my opinion.
If
1- you are cleared by your doctor to ride (I had a false heart attack and was cleared my cardiologist to ride again)
2- have similar goals
3- seeking stress relief through bicycle riding
Let's get in touch, maybe we can form a social Century ride/Reston tourer group (I am sorry if such a group already exists and due to my ignorance as a newbie that I was not aware of it). We can start our first ride as early as this may 3rd (Sunday)
