I am sorry, Carol, but we are almost opposite in the ways we ride. I have to be gluten-free, and I prefer to only eat organic or locally grown foods. So I only cook my own. I also have a business even though I’m retired, and I have six grandkids who live next-door and my help to drive them to activities is required. I do push things aside for a one week ride once a year but otherwise I just go for a few days and very nearby so I don’t have to drive much. I do not like big groups or organized rides so I avoid them at all cost.
But I do hope that you find a group you can go with.
