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.

THIRD RIDE - COYOTE RESERVOIR
This scenic ride along the shore of the Coyote Reservoir will replace the Old Stagecoach dirt road which had to be canceled because of heavy smoke from the Big Sur fires. First the fire shut down Hwy 1 which forced us to cancel the Old Coast Road, and now the fire's smoke is forcing us to replace the Old Stagecoach Road ride with this Coyote Reservoir ride out of Gilroy.
If you've been riding with me for awhile you know that my favorite rides are along lakes and narrow winding paved roads through a thick forest as seen in the photo. This ride qualifies as a favorite of mine.Make sure that you have a head light and tail light, as well as having your tires or inner tubes filled with slime to help avoid flats.
