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.

Biking - Temescal to Fishermans Village 20 or 30 miles.
Temescal Canyon Park, 15900 Pacific Coast Hwy, Pacific Palisades, CA, USThis is a 20 or 30 mile (your choice) beach ride. We'll start at Temescal Canyon and take the Marvin Braude bike trail south to Fishermans Village, with a small side trip to potentially see some very large boats. At this point, anyone wanting to do only 20 miles can relax with some coffee, ice cream or a snack. The 30 mile group will continue another 5 miles down the bike path and then start back. We'll likely stop somewhere for a snack and a drink before retuning to our start point.
The route is all paved with a total gain of about 167 feet over 20 miles. So, it's about as flat as a trail can be.
The only caveat to this one is that there always seems to be headwinds coming out of the Northwest during the last few miles.
Bring Along:
- Make sure you bring along a spare inner tube and have tires inflated for road riding.
