Portland, OR area Mountain Bikers?

Hi! So I am looking for some friends to go biking with. I am a beginner and really looking for some peeps with the same weight loss goals who maybe want to start riding this summer.

I am not opposed to biking an experienced person (I would ask tons of questions)... but I am really afraid of slowing a person down and them not having fun. That comes from getting grumbled at for being the slow one in the group I guess!

Hit me up if you are interested! I am excited to really enjoy my second summer in Portland in a healthy, active way!!

p.s. I had already posted this in another topic.
