A really good idea which has been tried by me (and others I think) before, mostly for teens. It was not overly successful in my case. The idea has great potential and, since we offer a family membership rate, why not include the youngsters too. Cyclemom, why not consider starting up such a group in the OBC for younger children and their parents. You may have to change the day to, say, the odd Saturday, so the parents could still have a day to do a good ride.

I have often thought how great it would be to have the occassional family ride. Easier pace, although tandems may be faster. Destination for ride --more family focused. Unfortunately, I find the vast majority of Bicycle Clubs tend to be demographically leaning towards the single guy or married guy sans gal. It would just be an alternative to the crazy rides through the parkways. Not an example of great cycling skills there. Anyway, it is just an idea. There may not be enough interest or resources to do something of this kind.
