I actually ran into my current group on livejournal. seattlebikes and
bikepirates was a good place (for me anyway) to find interesting people
to bike with.

It's a fairly recent club, it started a little over 2 years ago. If you
wander over to point83.com/forum and post the same question, you might
get some more ideas about how to start your own cycling group. Of
course if you use an internet site to organize your membership, you're
self selecting for computer people, which can be good and bad...
