Have they been good to you?

Absolutely. They're clearly lifelong roadies, mostly seniors, with some serious equipment — including some spectacular vintage road bikes. But they don't take themselves too seriously, and I've always felt welcome.

Usually 25-35 bikes per ride, including 2-3 ebikes. One regular who looks in his 80s also rides an SL 1. We typically go 25-35 mi with 50-100 ft/mi gains. The pace is "conversational" (Zone 2). No drops.

Interesting to ride along on an SL. Most are stronger riders than I am — including the females (about 1/3). I can usually keep up on the flats and rolling Coast Highway hills in OFF but need SPORT to keep up with with the faster ones on the biggest hills.

I live just outside of Washington DC.
I found and joined a Ebike group called
EBIKE LOVERS. This is a mix of Ebikes and we do usually paved trails. A bit slow paced for me but I like the people in my group.

I was still looking for E-MTB riders in my area so I started a group called E-MTB Riders Lorton on the app NEXTDOOR because its free. I already have 4 members with snow on the ground. Im expecting a good turnout as spring weather comes in a few months.

I’ve been a member of E-bike Lovers Of Washington DC (the official name) for several years. They now have over 1400 members! They have a huge of routes on Ride with GPS and they are scattered all around the DMV. Joining is free and among the minor perks is a free Ride with GPS account.

BTW, the founder of EBike Lovers, Dr. Gregory Maasson recently released the documentary, “Only Lazy Americans Ride E-Bikes” about his 2023 solo cross country Ebike ride in support of Peripheral Neuropathy in conjunction with John’s Hopkins. It’s a wonderful film that you should look for and see.
