I live in Tuscany and might be able to join you for some rides. Let me know if you are interested. I won't be super fast, but I am happy to have a little company.
Hi, I live in Valley Ridge and ride frequently mid week on my off days. We do circuits from Bowness park through downtown and south as far as we agree with coffee stops of course. Let me know if you are interested. Email at dyckwk@telus.net. My name is Kathy. I rode last year and had a blast.
I live in Scenic Acres and have made one trip with some of my team mates to Cochrane and back a few weekends ago. I am still a bit on the slow side, but at least I made it I'd like to go on longer rides, but I can't always hook up with my team mates when they have been able to go. I was busy last weekend, so missed out on that trip.
As far as a seat goes... go to the Bike Shop and they have this wonderful thing that you sit on and it tells you what size of seat you need so that there are not as many pressure points on your butt! They will also fit you for a bike if you are interested in that but I think that there is a small fee for bike fittings... Enjoy!!!
