Does anybody else participate in an organized weekly ride? We have ours on Tuesday and just meet at the bike shop at 6 pm. We get any where from two hardcore guys on the cold, windy evenings to 15 riders when it's nice. The route is different week to week but we have about three or four routes that we use often. The ride will last any where from 30 to 45 miles with the first half pretty mellow and the second half pretty fast. We race to the top of the hills and sprint at any city limit sign and then regroup after. It's the one thing during the week that really gets my adrenaline going. If you're ever in Rexburg on a Tuesday looking for ride come and join us.

When work allows I like to hit our Wednesday night group ride. They meet a bit early for me, about 5:15, so it is hard to make it every week. That, plus the fact that young mens is also on Wednesday makes it tough.
They do the same route every week with rare exception. Its a fast ride. There are several Cat 2 riders and a bunch of fast 3's and 4's. There are a couple of re-grouping points, but it is by no means a "no drop" policy. If you are not there within a couple of minutes, then sayonara.
I wish I could go more often. No amount of sprints and intervals works my top end like a fast group ride.
