Orlando Bike Rides

I will be riding with the Lakemont crew tomorrow, Sunday 7/25/09. Gotta get there by 7:30 and have bike back with new grips and new spare tires from my last ride. Will try to get CO2 before ride, do not want to depend on others (not a good model). I will report back the results and the how the group responds to a new guy.

Here is a map of the meeting place – Lakemont Ride Start

The group ride with Lakemont was enjoyable. Sunday ride is laid back with a decent pace. There is one section where they pick up the pace is a stretch on Marcom Woods road and it slow for a turn and one last hill before the final run back home. The group was about 40 strong with a good mixture and many guys from a team/bike shop Glory Cycles. These guys seem cool and have a good relationship with each other. As an outsider I felt comfortable with the group even though at the end of the ride I was given constructive criticism, which was delivered in a caring way, no jerks here that I saw. After the ride there was a group of 12-15 riders get together at Einstein Brothers Bagels on Aloma and I was able to gt to know a few better. Very positive experience and I would say that anyone would feel comfortable riding with this group but must at least be a strong b rider especially if you are new and do not know the course. Thank you Lakemont Gang hope we can do it again someday, soon.
