This group is for experienced group-riding road-bike riders. Owning a road-bike is a requirement to join the group, (as opposed to mtn bikes, hyb …

I started this group to meet like minded folks in the South Bay with the hopes of having more group riding opportunities.  There are other rider groups that sponsor social events that may or may not have anything to do with riding. We will not do sponsored club rides, charity rides, poker runs, movie nights, bowling, karaoke, etc.  This group's primary focus is the ride, the event or destination associated with the ride is secondary.  Group riding itself creates the opportunity to socialize. A f …

This group is for intermediate to advanced cross-county riders to get together for some great rides and mountain biking trips. I want to keep the rides small, as I don't really enjoy going on rides with large groups of riders.   People joining this group should be established riders with a good fitness level and an average technical riding ability. People will not be dropped on rides, but I also don't want people to have to wait excessively long periods of time for beginners.  With all that said …
