1634.0. "riding partners" by ABACUS::GUYER () Wed Jul 11 1990 09:57

    I am looking for riding partners.  I live in Bedford N.H. 2 miles north
    of 101.  I can ride most any evening or weekend and like to ride every
    day if the weather allows.  My typical rides are 10 to 30 miles in
    length.  My pace is usually 13 to 16 miles/hr since it is fairly hilly
    in that area, however, I will try to keep up with anyone (within
    reason), or slow down if necessary. I am willing to drive a reasonable 
    distance to hook up with other people.  It's hard staying motivated riding
    alone.  My weekend rides are getting longer and I would like to complete 
    at least one century this year.
    
    If anyone is available I would love to hear from you.

1634.1Try the GSWEQUINE::DANIWed Jul 11 1990 10:4011
Hi,

I'd recommend joining and riding with the Granite State Wheelmen. There
are many rides offered in this area.  

If the weather holds... this Thursday there is a ride leaving at 6PM from 
the Reeds Ferry School in Merrimack.  There tends to be a variety of abilities
and riders at this ride.

1634.2Let's ride!MCIS5::CHURCHWed Jul 11 1990 11:5412
    I also would like to get together with other riders in the Southern
    N.H. area for either evening or weekend rides of 20 to 30 mile rides. 
    
    My goal is to do a century this September. I am also enjoying Mountain
    biking and spent three hours last weekend riding around the trails atBear Brook
    State Park. It was a ball! The trail around Lake Massabesic south of
    Manchester is also great; about 2 hours to go around it.
    
    How do I get in touch with Granite State Wheelmen in the Londonderry
    area?

    Thanks for the recommendation Dani.  I am a member of GSW and was thinking
    of doing that ride this week.  I did a ride with the club in exeter
    last Sunday, 39 miles.  I'd like to cover more days and perhaps have
    more schedule flexibility.

1634.4When, Where and How Far???ABACUS::QUINNETTWed Jul 18 1990 17:2915
    Earl, I live in New Boston and work at MKO.  I would be happy
    to accompany you on some rides.  My usual ride is approx. 20
    miles (in to work).  Recently I've been riding both ways so I 
    only ride that distance every other day.  A + or - 20 mile ride 
    on the weekend or after work sounds real good to me.  
    
    I haven't really been riding with anyone else (wife occasionally)
    and would enjoy the company.  Lord knows I could use a push now and
    then too.  I know some pretty nice routes out in Bennington,
    Francestown etc.  I'm sure you know some good ones too.  Give
    me a call and we can plan something.

    Hi.  I too am from New Boston and am at about the same level of riding
    as the previous notes.  I try to ride with the Granite State Wheelmen
    on Sundays, but try to get out in New Boston area on Saturdays.  If 
    you all would like company to ride on Saturday morning or afternoon, 
    give me a holler!

    Regards,
    Denis
