Let's Ride Together (Ebike gangs 😉)

Group ride planned for Central Pennsylvania. Convenient to the Mid Atlantic.

 
Here's how to set this up: have Court or the administrator set up a subsection with boards for different regions of the country/world. For instance, Pacific Northwest, California, Midwest, New England, etc. UK, Italy, etc. If people want to find (or found) a bike group, they would post their group as a topic or look for their specific area among the ones listed. Then they could private message the person putting it together (or be the coordinator of the group) to get in touch in the real world.
 
Strasburg VA 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
What a wonderful idea for a name, but what a terrible way to come up with it.

Stay well and keep those pedals turning!
 
Sounds like a custom designed cycling jersey is required. Custom Designs at Bicycle Booth.

They also have some fun designs for Team Sloth and hundreds of others.

I have zero affiliation with them, but one of my friends got one of their jerseys and has been quite happy with it. But a jersey emulating a bike gang (Sons of Anarchy for example), with BrianK's brilliant suggestion, would likely make it's way onto my torso.

I was just playing with a custom t shirt site’s design page:

Of course my own shirt must have a custom reverse:

Should be here mid August.
 
Too bad the best ride for California is 600 miles away. 😞
Just to rub salt in the wound, so to speak, California's American River Trail is a treasure. A paved urban trail along a river that feels more remote than it is. Shade trees, deer, coffee shops... It connects to other trails systems like the City of Folsom Humbug and Willow Creek trails and the Through the Valley Trail, that extend this system by dozens more miles. Could even be worth a trip up from So Cal...😎
 
USA, SE Michigan/north of Mt. Clemens

Best trail I ever found around here is the Macomb/Orchard Trail....all paved and really pretty.

Yes. Anything like this in forum features coming ?

J.R. started this thread last year which went a long way toward setting up such a group in eastern & central PA.:

It would indeed be nice to have a forum feature dedicated to this purpose. Perhaps it could be created as a sub forum under "Ebike Touring & Travel" or "Events, Rides and Shows".
I travel a great deal riding trails in the eastern US. and it would be a way to touch base with fellow riders and perhaps join one of their meets.

Location would help in another way as well. I'm looking into a trip west and trying to see what trails and parks to try and what to skip in the midwest. If I could find a member that knows some of that area it would help.

And @J.R. s thread for PA is a big help.
 
It might be interesting to see a pack of e-riders in sleeveless jean jackets with patches cruising the
hwy, & irritating the ´Ozzie & Harriets´ in sedans, but I´m too gray to pass for Brando. I only
seem to see other riders here going the opposite direction. Anyone on the Olympic Peninsula
want to group ride? We could get all tribal & stuff like ¨a band of gypsies going down the highway¨🤪

This is how Motorcycle Forums do it.
Sub-sections for countries and by regions. Works well.
Someone plans a ride with a meeting place. People who want to attend show up.
