Trying to get back into road riding. Forgot how boring it is riding alone. Been doing a lot of MTB riding with a small group the past few years. Any individuals looking for a road riding partner, or existing groups willing to let me tag along, lemme know...
Thanks, Mike |

Hey Mike,
I'm in Claremont. I both mountain and road bike, and am always looking for new riding partners. When and where do you like to ride? Another suggestion: Coates cyclery on Foothill does rides every Sunday morning-alternating between road and mountain. Cheers, Joe Quote:

I'm generally free. I'm a college prof with the summer off...I'll be in Mammoth this coming week, one last skiing trip, then pretty free. When do you usually do your road riding? I can meet up with you and tag along....lemme know...
Thanks, Mike Quote:

Hey Mike,
Sorry for the late reply...was out of town. Anyway, just about anytime is good for me. Especially since this current heat wave is ending. I am assuming that you are back from mammoth by now. Joe Quote:

Joe,
Was actually planning on going for a short ride tomorrow (Wed, June 7). My road bike's in the shop so I have to do a couple of quick repairs on my old road bike. I'm trying to get them done tonight so I can go tomorrow morning, but I may not get them done so maybe tomorrow evening. Lemme know if tomorrow evening works for you. We could meet downtown Claremont, say @ Starbucks, 5:00pm ish? Lemme know... Mike Quote:

Hey Mike,
Were you able to get your bike fixed, and are we still on? Joe Quote:

They have been doing group rides for more than 40 years... old Bud is dead now, but the rides go on! Bud's Bike Shop (909) 621-5827 217 W 1st St Claremont, CA 91711 I ride by myself as I don't like to ride behind anyone, nor in front of somebody breathing down my throat. ![]() ![]() |

I just got I bike, and I'm looking for routes/people to ride with. Are the sunday morning rides something that beginners could tag along with? I'm not in bad shape, but I'm finding that running and biking hit different muscles.

Haven't participated in any of the organized rides yet. You are welcome to tag along with our little group if you like. Where are ya? We usually meet in the middle of our houses and ride from there. Planning on one tomorrow (Wed) morning if you're interested. I'll check back...

We were planning on starting at 7am tomorrow morning. We usually ride 2-3 hours but you could beg off any time you like in order to get to work at a reasonable time. We meet at the corner of Bonita and Mountain in Claremont. Let me know if you think you'll be there, if not maybe Sat morning?

Hows it going? I start in Upland and only ride alone but would like to ride with a small group. One day out i hooked up with some other people on the road and discovered how fun it is to ride in a group. How fast do you guys ride? When are you planning on riding next and do you mind if i join you guys?
