This is the biking group for experienced riders who are less interested in speed and more interested in interesting routes and friendly people. We will do rides of 25 - 40 miles at a "C+" pace (approx 14 mph).
Routes may be planned around scenic areas, interesting destinations, special events, or lunch stops at popular restaurants. All rides will include a food & fellowship event at some point during the day.
Route planning will take into consideration safety and keeping hill climbs to a moderate level.
What you can expect from us:
1. You won't be treated like a "newbie"
2. You don't have to have all the best "gear"
3. You don't have to be in top athletic form
4. Common sense safe riding practices
5. A friendly, light-hearted atmosphere
What we expect from you:
1. Helmets and water are mandatory
2. You have recently done 20 mile+ rides
3. Your bike is in sound mechanical condition and appropriate for moderate distances
4. Familarity with bicycle road safety rules
5. Show up on time (VERY IMPORTANT!)
6. On your second ride you're an "old hand" and will make first-timers feel welcome

Let's Ride!

      “I live out of the area and run a similar group in London England. As I visit family on the PA/DE line and I keep a couple of bicycles at the house I figured I would sign up so I can anticipate future rides when I am close by.”

      “Hello, One of the things I love to do is biking. Just bought a new Fuji Silouette with my first pair of clip ins and am looking forward to seeing what this season has to offer. I also love to meet new people!”

      “Great idea for a riding group. I broke my arm badly mtn biking (first surgery!) and am off all 3 of my bikes until mid-summer. Can't wait to get back to riding with friendly, like-minded people. And remember: keep the rubber side down!”

      “Hello - My name is Mike and I love bicycling. This meetup sounds perfect for me, because I love long rides (30 to 40+/- miles) but like them to be social and not about speed and getting home as soon as possible.”

      “Hello, I moved here last year from Southern CA where I rode weekly with a great group that were just out to enjoy the ride and not to see how fast we could go. I've been looking for a casual riding group like this now that I'm back in PA.”
