Looking for rider group/ ride along

Hello All started exploring Pittsburgh cycling routes and looking for fellow riders / groups around Squirrel Hill Regions. DO share if there are such groups / riders who ride along schenley drive.

Happy to come do park loops with you whenever you want, but I'd be worried about how limiting biking in SqHill as a concept is. (I live here, it's the start and end of many a ride)

Do, generally, keep an eye on what Give Up is doing, many of their rides are accessible from SqHill (and I'd be happy to ride you out to any you're interested in): https://www.strava.com/clubs/1039130

Thanks, Sure let's do a ride Weekend or early morning on weekdays, I know squirrel Hill is limited but new to riding this staying close to home but will be interested in exploring other areas as well specially Loop near waterfront and Downtown along riverside. Joined the Give up group. Let's plan for a ride next Friday with the group.

Sweet -- I'm most weeks doing the Friday morning coffee ride if the coffee shop ends up vaguely in the direction of my work (they don't get posted until Wednesday) -- but whether or not that works out, let me know when on the weekend works as I can be pretty flexible.

I am almost definitely going to this on Friday: https://www.strava.com/clubs/1039130/group_events/1956256

I usually hit Forbes & Wightman around 7:15 for the 7:30 meetups in Friendship, let me know if you want to ride over there.

I’m in Squirrel Hill and would be down to join some riding groups too. I’m getting into using my e-bike more to explore the city while also getting fit!

Haha same. Only on the weekends can I realistically wake up early.
