About us
This group is looking for other E-bikers to take our E-bikes out on bike paths, roads and dirt. I’ll try to post at least two rides a week. Bike path rides are usually along a river or beach and range from 15 to 40 miles with very little elevation gain. Our city street and road rides can range from 20 to 35 miles with elevation gains from 500’ to 5000’. I pick cities to ride in that offer hills to challenge our e-bikes. There are those of us that have E-mountain bikes that are looking to take them on dirt, so I will be posting dirt rides which, for the most part, will be on fire roads (wide track). There are a lot of these roads in our open spaces and national forest which can open up new areas usually too far to hike in a day. Presently, this group will not be riding on single track dirt trails unless they are easy.

EASY SIMI VALLEY BIKE RIDE
Location not specified yetThis E-bike ride will be on 99.5% paved roads and bike paths in the East Simi Valley area. We will be passing a house which the residents last year went all out in decorating for Halloween. Hopefully, the Halloween decorations will still be in place on this house.

SANTA ANA RIVER BIKE PATH & PICNIC
Centennial Park, Centennial Park, Santa Ana, CA 92704, USA, Santa Ana, CA, USSANTA ANA BIKE TRAIL AND PICNIC LUNCH - Make sure you bring a lunch for our debriefing in the park after the ride.
The Santa Ana River Trail is one of Southern California's most ambitious regional recreation projects, designed to eventually span 110 miles from the San Bernardino Mountains all the way to the Pacific Ocean at Huntington Beach. While the grand vision connects three counties and 17 cities, the trail currently functions as two entirely distinct experiences: a collection of flat, seamless, fully paved urban greenways through Orange County and the Inland Empire, and rugged, high-endurance mountain singletrack routes in the San Bernardino National Forest.
Because the trail morphs so dramatically depending on where you drop in, choosing the right section depends entirely on whether you want a smooth, vehicle-free bike ride or a grueling alpine workout.
Popular Urban & Lowland Segments (Easy & Paved)
These segments are entirely paved, flat, and separate from vehicle traffic using grade-separated underpasses. They are perfect for road cyclists, long-distance runners, strollers, and casual walkers. However, they offer virtually no shade, meaning sun protection and morning or late afternoon timing are critical to avoiding intense midday heat and strong afternoon headwinds.
For this event, we will be taking the popular Urban & Lowland southern segment, and then the northern segment on Saturday November 21st as we once again visit the Mission Inn festival of lights in Riverside.Check your bike out at home to make sure it's in working order and tires inflated before you arrive at the meetup locationas as well as having your tires or inner tubes filled with slime to help avoid flats.
