What we’re about
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.

DETAILS:
**ROUTE:BIKE RIDE DESCRIPTION:
This E_Bike ride will be on the Marvin Braude Bike Trail (aka the beach bike path). This beautiful bike path will take us along the beach to Redondo Beach. The street riding portion of this is minimal, the rest of the time, you're on a bike path away from car traffic.
It won't be a race as we're out there to just enjoy the day and so we'll probably stop to watch dolphins, take pictures, get some lunch and probably stop for ice cream near the end.Along the way, we'll pass by Playa Del Rey, LAX (at the beach), El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach.
Make sure you bring along a spare inner tube and some sunscreen.
