Let's Ride Together (Ebike gangs 😉)

PatriciaK said:
The specific topic is people wanting to ride together - I was the person who initiated the topic last fall before I got my bike. The thread got buried because people stopped responding (because it was winter?). Someone was looking for the thread this morning, so I hunted it down and posted in it so it would appear again.

I apologize for responding "off topic" to my own thread in response to a specific question about my bike 😱. I will endeavor, from now on, to police my thread diligently to ensure that no one ever goes "off topic" ever, ever, ever again :cool:.

And now, back to folks wanting to ride together, AKA "Ebike Gangs". Stay on topic, people ☝;)!

Can we search this thread by area? Pennsylvania is really broad for example, so there are hundreds of empty miles between Pittsburgh and Philladelphia, but hundreds of ebikers between Philadelphia and Washington DC. Maybe add a LINK for a standard state or province or postal code ? Anyway, thanks for restarting this and SOT Stay On Topic you SOBs Seniors On Bikes

I was thinking folks could just scroll through and respond/reply to posters who are in their area ... But I'll think about organizing differently - I'm just an old lady with an ebike, not an IT whiz 😉.

There is an option to "search this thread only" in advanced search. So that will do if people put the name of their state or province in their post. Maybe good enough, without needing an IT degree?

Can we all use the format where you begin your post with your state and area, like this:

NW WA, Whidbey Island area ...

That way, the specific area you're available to ride is first thing people see?

I went back and added NE PA Snyder county to my post number 39.
We will see how many people are 1.even interested, 2.willing to format their post like that, and 3. SOT at all.
Unlikely / Impossible you say ?

USA / NY / Nassau County (Long Island)

I'm a pretty new to ebikes, and I do all of my riding alone, would love to hook up with a group.

I bet your lbs has info on group rides in NYC area, as well. If you find one post it here, please.
 
WESTERN WA USA - SHALL WE TRY A GROUP RIDE?

I'm thinking meet in Anacortes to do Tommy Thompson/March Point,

OR: Sedro Woolley for the Cascade trail,

OR: Arlington for the Centennial Trail,

OR: Open to any other ideas!

DH rides an acoustic bike, and we rarely ride faster than about 10mph, but if folks want to go faster, that's ok. We can start together, meet up for refreshments and end whenever.

Anyone interested?

Thinking sometime near the end of July, during the week to avoid the trails being packed...
 
USA, Portland, Oregon.

My wife and I recently got our ebikes and would love to do a group ride sometime. My wife is still getting used to her bike, so pace would need to be slow.
 
USA, PA, Wayne County.
I'm in!

As pointed out earlier in this thread, it is often difficult to find a concentration of interested members especially in rural areas.
In my case, I frequently travel to ride trails in my home state of PA as well as MD, NY, MA and CT.
Two of my favorites in eastern / central PA. are The Pine Creek Trail in Jersey Shore and the Lehigh Gorge Trail in Jim Thorpe. Both have large easily accessible parking areas suitable for group meets and are in areas with a very low number of Covid cases.

I would love to do the Western Wa ride, but unfortunately with the pandemic the border remains closed so I can't join. Post some pictures of the ride so I can at least pretend I joined in :D

If we do the ride, I'll be sure to post. Some day the border will open again 🤞.
 
Anyone riding in the Clinton or Essex County New York area. Very rural but a lot of cyclists, and more and more ebikes
 
There are currently 3 pages of responses to this topic, which is great!

BUT

Most people do not appear to be looking through the posts to see if there are ALREADY PEOPLE IN THEIR AREA who are looking for others to ride with.

While I'm working on figuring out a more efficient way for folks to connect,

PLEASE READ THROUGH THE CURRENT THREAD, BEFORE POSTING, AND IF SOMEONE HAS ALREADY POSTED FROM AN AREA YOU CAN RIDE IN, RESPOND (REPLY) TO THAT PERSON INSTEAD OF POSTING A NEW REPLY.

If everyone just posts where they are, without looking to see where others are, it's going to be difficult to find people to ride with 😁.

Thanks, and I'll keep working on a better format.
 
Strasburg VA (Shenandoah County) here, very new to e biking.

But since I have had multiple heart and brain procedures, including multiple neuroangioplasties and two stents in the arteries of my brain following multiple strokes, we have to have our own e bike gang name:

Sons of Angioplasty

RECAP (and to get back on topic):

Before this thread went into hibernation for the winter, we had riders interested in group riding from the following areas:

British Columbia, CA

WA state - both sides of the Cascades, and from Island County to near the OR border.

OR - near Portland

MA - South of Boston

NY - Queens

VA - Fredericksburg area

GA - Atlanta area

Australia - the Melbourne area

Check back in page one of responses to locate who is where...

Not sure how this will work during the time of Pandemic, but if social distancing can be maintained and folks are still interested in group riding (or, forming a "Gang"), continue to post here - we'll see how it goes :). Also, if someone has already posted in your area, please reply to their comment if you're interested.
