Introduction

Hi! I'd like to join other riders (as often as is possible). Having recently moved here from New Hampshire, I'd like to meet up with other cyclists in the area; make friends, have fun and enjoy a great workout.

Can you share more details on your biking group goals; type of bike you have, and do you have all bike gear? Have all of you posted a picture and read the RSVP rules on the -ABOUT US- Link? Will you sign the Liability Form?

I have a TREK 5000 and most all gear. My goals are to start with rides in the 20-30 mile range at first and work my way up. Yes on rules and liability form.

What major cross streets do you live near, any routes in town you'd like to share or try out with the group? How far are you willing to drive for a biking event? Are you here for exercise and/or socializing?

I live near Desert Inn and Jones and am willing to drive for events but would prefer to stay close to home or near the Red Rock area for the next few weeks and expand from there. I am here both for the exercise and the upbeat social setting.

What days of the week are best for you to bike? Do know bike maintenance or like to learn? Need guidance or help with bike and accessory purchase info?

I am flexible on days. I would definitely appreciate learning more about bike mantenance!

How long have you been biking, how often do you ride, your average distance, speed and how comfortable are you riding on the streets? Or do you prefer bike paths only? Have you done or are you interested to train partial or full Centuries?

I have years of experience riding for pleasure but got away from it for a while to pursue other interests. I'd like to do distance (25+ miles) & rides of similar terrain to what we find at Red Rock or Valley of Fire--not busy city streets.

If you are an Advanced cyclist, are you ok riding with less experienced cyclists and are you willing to share knowledge with the group? ANYONE: Would you be willing to lead a group ride (group MUST stay together) or become an Assistant Organizer?

I'd be happy to share what I know and once I learn more about the area, would lead groups.

What Gwen is saying about this Meetup Group

I highly recommend it! Regardless of your level as a cyclist, I think you'll find this truly enjoyable. This group combines witty, intermittent conversation with an excellent outdoor sport. There's something here for everyone--a lot of fun!
