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.

OLD RIDGE ROUTE ROAD & PICNIC
Location not specified yetOnce again I will be taking on the Old Ridge Route Road, but this time in its entirity instead of breaking it up into two rides. This will be accomplished by using a car shuttle for the first time, so please read the following carefully and answer the questions.
IMPORTANT: To accomplish this, we will all need to drive to the INITIAL MEETUP LOCATION alone and with a bike rack or vehicle capable of carrying two e-bikes. From there we will take half of the vehicles, loaded with two bikes each, to our STARTING LOCATION.
If you have a fat tire e-bike, make sure you pair up with another rider that has a bike rack or vehicle capable of carrying two fat tire e-bikes.
THEREFORE, IN THE COMMENTS PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
1). Do you have a vehicle or bike rack that can carry two e-bikes? If no, please don't sign up for this event.
2). Does your e-bike have fenders?
3). Can your bike rack support e-bikes with fenders?After the ride and after retriving the cars left at our STARTING MEETUP LOCATION, we will then drive over to nearby Castaic Lake Park for a picnic.

LAKE ELSINOR - BACK ROADS
Location not specified yetThis is day 1 of a two day trip to Riverside County. Day 2 will be a ride in Idyllwild to enjoy Fall colors. You can sign on for either or both events.
As you may know, I'm always looking for narrow and winding paved roads. The Los Alamos Truck Trail in The Cleveland National Forest is one of those ideal roads to enjoy our e-bikes on without traffic. To cut down the miles, I will set this up as a car shuttle event where you will need to:
1). drive alone to the meetup location
2). have a bike rack that can carry two e-bikes
3). have an e-bike that has no fenders and fat tires. If you have either of these, you'll need to find another member that has a bike rack compatable with yours.After the ride and after retrieving the cars left at our starting location, we will then drive over to the Yellow Basket for lunch.
Make sure your tires or inner tubes have slime in them to help avoid flats.
INITIAL MEETUP LOCATION AND TIME: Marna O'Brien Park in Wildomar near the restrooms at 9:00am. From here we will take half of the vehicles and all of the bikes to our starting location.
STARTING LOCATION: is 11 miles away at the El Cariso South Picnic Site in the Cleveland National Forest.
RESTROOMS: At the end of the ride when we picnic at Castaic Lake Park.
ROUTE This will be our planned route.
