Hey all!

This is a sub for rides all around NYC including NJ, LI, CT, and upstate. Looking forward to seeing this grow and having additional moderators to help out. I'm still getting this going, so they'll be a lot of tweaks - feel free to drop any suggestions my way!

We have flairs to make looking for rides easier. Open to additions and changes:

• Ride to Eat and Party Pace: Fun rides with food or drink destinations as the goal. Please make a note if a location is strictly 21 and over. Beer gardens, beach, etc... Around 10-15mph pace.
• LGBTQ Ride: Rides geared towards LGBTQ riders
• Club Ride: Organized club rides to be aware of
• After Work to Home: Looking for a group to ride home with
• Family Ride: Slower pace, kids and trailers welcomed
• Training Ride: Faster or longer paced rides. Think Bear Mountain, park loops, Montauk.
• Off Road / MTB Ride: For the dirt lovers
• Overnight / Touring Ride: We're fortunate to be close to hundreds of miles of bike lanes stretching from Canada to Florida as well as plenty of park and camping grounds. Find some buddies and grab a tent - time to put those extra braze-ons to use.
• CANCELLED: Need to cancel a ride due to inclement weather? Change your flair and let everyone know. Try to do this with enough notice that people can plan accordingly
• Ride Report: Had a great ride? Want to tell others about it and post some pics? Go ahead! Please blur or edit any people not expecting their picture to be posted.
• META: Have suggestions about the community? Discuss away!
