FLCC> Notorious group rides

[Laura Bowles]

Below there is an inquiry about those famous yet notorious group rides we
all know of.  It is from my friend who writes for Bicycle Magazine and if
you want to have a ride you think is notorious just email the ride to Ian at
ian.dille at gmail.com Read below. Thanks Laura

Friends! I need your help.

I'm working on a story for Bicycling Magazine about the nation's most
notorious group rides. Basically: These rides have been around for
decades; they have a slew of local characters that everyone knows by
name (or nickname); they're guaranteed to give you a workout; and if
you mention the ride to a cyclist in a different part of the country,
or even the world, there's a chance they'll know what you're talking
about.

I'll be riding a slew of these -- right now the Derby in PA, the
Gimbel's ride in NY, the Nighter' in Austin, and the Shootout in
Tucson are on my to do list -- as well as compiling a sidebar with
the top 50.

Please let me know if there is a ride in your area, or a group ride
you've done while traveling that is worthy of mention. I need to know
where the ride meets, who I could contact about it, and what to
expect from it (weekend warrior speed or pro-tour pace).

Also, feel free to forward this along. The bigger net I cast, the
better.

Thanks in advance.
