I don't really find city riding all that dangerous, and I'll go out for some quick jaunts when I don't have a lot of time. It just gets pretty old quickly, and I'd never try to structure a ride around it. I also commute to work pretty regularly. I just ride aggressively and spend as little time around other drivers as possible.

Hibs, if you're referring to Colorado Springs Sportbike & whatever name they've added on for the week, there are some pretty lame kids on there, but there's some really good riders too. I haven't ridden with a group since last summer though.
