There is no meetup channel in the Cycling area, so in the interest of casting my net wide I'm cross-posting this from the "Trip Reports" channel under Cycling: https://www.pugski.com/threads/ne-mtb-gathering-exploratory-poll.15748/
This is a bit of a thread hijack, but FYI: I'm converging with about five PugSkiers for a retired-geezers 30 mile bike ride on the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) trail in western PA and would like to invite any interested parties to join us. This is set-up for Thursday, July 11 (WEATHER DEPENDENT), starting at approx 10:30 AM. We'd start in Meyersdale, PA and finish in Confluence, PA. We ride hybrid bikes and go slow, the GAP trail is really pleasant and quiet especially on weekdays. It consists of crushed stone over an old rail bed with mild gradients. We'll have multiple cars to shuttle bikes and bikers and do a group lunch at the finish before going our separate ways.
it seems there are more MTB rider Pugskiers who are in the east vs. the west.
That's true.We're just closer together.
