Mary,
    The participation is down these days, but there are some
riders going out pretty much every day that the weather
permits (i.e. dry roads).  Usually there are 3 or 4 of us.  We meet by
the ARC building, rolling around the parking lot until everyone gathers,
then leave as a group at 12:05 or so.  We typically stay together,
matching the pace to the abilities of the riders out that day.  When
someone wants to ride at their own speed and separates from the rest
of us, we group together again for the ride back on Victory Boulevard so
that nobody has to ride back alone.
    I hope you'll give it a try.  It's a nice break in the middle
of the day, and the weather is wonderful right now.
