Newbie friendly group ride??? - SF Bay Area

deeno415 · August 13th, 2013, 12:34 AM

Anyone care to get together for a group ride in the SF Bay Area? Trying to get more experience under my belt... would love to get together with other Ninjette members or anyone that is trying to get better at riding.

Or, is anyone familiar with any group rides in the SF Bay Area (that are newbie friendly)???

Thanks in advance! Let's make this happen...

Check out bayarearidersforum.com. There's a group ride section and the ones that are labeled MGR (Mellow Group Ride) are usually labeled as newbie friendly. Read carefully in case they're not recommended for newbies though. Once in a while other newbie rides also come up. Definitely a great resource.

Thank you Rebecca! I'll be sure to check them out...

I just got my bike a little over a month ago and I would love to go riding with fellow newbies as well. I might be going to Richmond this weekend and I wouldn't mind going for a ride before I head there or after I head back. I'm from San Jose.

I've been checking on Bay Area Riders Forum (BARF) as they have more listings for group rides and social gatherings.

I would still love to get some of the forum members here, from the SF Bay Area to get together one weekend for a mellow group ride.

Hopefully we'll get some ninjetters together!

Yeah I would love to get a group ride together, the only thing is that once I start my new job im going to be working from 9am-1pm on weekends which means no mid mornings only afternoon,night and super early rides.

anacron · September 9th, 2013, 10:23 PM

I've been meaning to do a run through Livermore (Tesla and Mines). These are really nice roads with long sweeping turns (they run through the vineyards).

Palomares and Calaveras in Castro Valley are nice roads too. I've been on Palomares and its newbie-friendly.

I love super early rides, so if you're game then we can plan something soon. (I'm talking 5:30am early; you have been warned

)

tfkrocks · September 9th, 2013, 10:37 PM

We should all go on one of BigB's MGRs at the same time. Last time the ride started with 8 ninjettes. Should have a ninjette takeover

Let's play things out by ear and see where this goes...

@Jiggles

Edit:
Nevermind, 10am would work perfectly for me!!

Jiggles · September 10th, 2013, 12:00 AM

tfkrocks · September 10th, 2013, 12:02 AM

Saturday isn't a good answer for "where?"

I thought he meant where in the month. Snpr really needs to learn how to articulate better.

Sorry about that.

deeno415 · September 10th, 2013, 12:16 AM

Keep me in the loop! I'd be down to ride to the south bay on the weekends...

Singh2jz · September 10th, 2013, 02:09 AM

I'm down..and since I've been on Uvas a couple of times, it'll be the best way for me to experience an actual group ride lol.
