I'm sort of a fan of having small groups for rides, so I can't complain about the way CORE is right now. although, i had a good time when we had some intergroup mingling on CORE and OR rides. as far as what CORE does now a days: a lot of the rides are out of NE ohio. When I first joined CORE, it seemed like a lot more rides were done in the columbus area, but mroe recently, a few of the regulars have taken to riding solely on the track, and a few others have moved out of state (like steph, for example). even now, with the forum being "dead" compared to past years, we still have rides just about every nice weekend with the riding group size being usually 4-6 people, and occasionally when we get "lots" of new riders in, 10-15 people.
