The Nov edition of the Plano cycling women's only ride, will be on Nov 9th.  Start time 8:30, NO drop (and they mean it), all experience levels, recumbents welcome, distance about 20mi, pace 12-15mph and they aren't lying about the pace either, and refreshments are served at Plano Bike afterwards.  In Sept, it was bagels and cream cheese, with cold drinks.  
 
I enjoyed the ride in Sept, and plan on riding on the 9th.  Hope to see more bents there!
