Hello All--
I am visiting the DR in January or February for a couple of weeks. The purpose of the trip is mostly so wifey can visit with family. I enjoy her familia but to sweeten the deal for myself, I would like to get some good ass-kickin' road rides in. In the States there are bicycle clubs all over the place and when we I travel, I can hook up with a group for their regularly scheduled Saturday or Sunday ride. With advance communication, I can also ensure that I am with the right group (young and fast, not old and slow).
I have several Dominican friends who are avid mountain bikers but the road biking scene seems a little more illusive, probably due to the potholes and bad drivers. Poor road conditions notwithstanding, I am sure there are plenty of good less traveled roads on the outskirts of the city and in the hinterlands that would make for a fantastic 50 mile ride. I don't know the roads though, hence I would like to hook up with a group.
To make a long question short, does anyone here know of any such groups? Or does anyone here even know someone who does road bicycling?
--Thanks!
