I'm starting up Lydia's Thursday night social ride while she's away. Casual ride through Patapsco Park and River Road out towards Ellicott City, then back for a beer at the Rathskeller.  No drop ride, we ride as slow as the slowest rider.  More advanced riders can climb a few hills and still be part of the after work fun.  We may have to modify the route because of storm damage last week in the park.
