I am a new female mountain biker and am looking for any group rides coming up this weekend for beginners. Thanks!

Are you looking for a group to ride with? Does anybody know of any beginner-ish groups in the area?

Where are you located? When do you like to ride? How fit are you?

Thanks for all the responses! I live in the Carmel Valley area. I like to ride 1-2 times during the weekday for shorter rides and Saturday for longer rides. I am pretty fit as I take boxing classes and used to run, but the impact was killing my knees and joints so that is why I have switched to cycling. I have tried the Penosquitos trail already and I am looking for something a little more challenging. I have the endurance and strength to ride most intermediate trails, but I am technically challenged as I am female AND asian :madman: so that is the area I want to improve.

well they do have surgeries for the female issue, but i'm afraid you're stuck with being Asian.

I've been trying to find some people to do a weekly ride at Daley Ranch in Escondido. I dont really care what day or time. Any of you interested?

I am definitely up for weekly rides in Daley Ranch. Weeknights or Saturday mornings. I usually ride alone but it would be fun to have someone else to push me along out there.

Here is the link for the San Diego Mountain Biking Meetup group. They have riders in varying skill levels. I have not been happy with large group rides as they stretch a 1 1/2 ride into 2 1/2 hours. I use my rides for a workout so I like to try to keep going.
