While you’ll find a race group that hammers it at 21MPH or faster at PCC, this is a good group for beginners because of the multiple pace groups(21+, 18 – 20, 15 – 17) and lack of attitude. If you’ve never ridden with a group before(or if you’re just slow like me) they’ll show you the ropes and push you to get better. The Saturday morning ride always has the structured pace groups. Sunday mornings are more informal, but you can usually find people at the same fitness level to ride with. Sometimes after-work rides will pop up during the week on the Yahoo group, too. The club rides on farm roads in Brazoria County; most are smooth without a lot of traffic. There’s nothing like looking up to see a herd of cows staring at you as you go by… try doing THAT inside the loop!
