Hey there folks, I'm looking for a ~50 mile ride with some climbing. Weather forecast is looking great. Anyone have a line on something or want to invite me along? I'm an experienced rider (former racer) who's in good overall shape, but not racing shape...
Any rides on Saturday in the Portland area?

If you weren't a former racer I would invite you to our club rider tomorrow morning. Awesome little 27 miler to start the day.
If you weren't a former racer, I would invite you to join me and a couple of buddies Sat. at 2:00.
You should check out the local stores like Veloce, West End Bikes and Western Bike Works to see if they have any "store rides". Most do.
I hear Rapha has local team you might be able to ride with. I heard last Sunday they rode a 120 miler, with several thousand feet of climbing.
Also check out the Portland Velo. They have great rides at all levels on Sat. mornings. Hammer-heads Included. They run it like a boot camp, but it still pretty fun.

Is being a former racer is such a drawback? I mention that because I'm very comfortable riding in packs. I'm not in that kind of shape right now. My neck couldn't handle much more than 50 I don't think. You know how that is.
But anyway, thanks for the scoop....

Mebbe not a "drawback" per se, but it does give an indication that you won't be happy tootling along at 16-17mph.
