SATURDAY E-bike EPICS @TBD - Strong Ebikers Only

Greetings Adv/Strong E-bikers,

I'd like to set aside a couple Saturday's a month beginning in Nov for some E-MTB Epic rides w locations, distances (20-40ish mi), times TBD. This event will be collaborative; whereas, I will not always be available to plan or lead a ride but instead would like others to lead and/or chime in within the comment section as to where we/you all wanna ride each week, whether it be local and annual classics or an outta towner. So if you want to post/lead a Sat E-pic, feel free to edit the details on the week's event accordingly.

Skill/Fitness Criteria:
Because I am a fairly strong and technically capable ebiker and enjoy a consistently brisk pace with minimal regroup time, this ebike event will be for Very Fit and technically capable E bikers ONLY with at least a 700 watt/hr battery pack due to expected pace, distance, and climbing. If you have a SL, you MUST have an auxillary battery AND be able to keep pace with the group.

Note: A fit and seasoned ebiker would be someone who is riding their bike/ebike at least 2-3 days per week and are able to keep pace with the core Thur/Sun group and can easily do 20-40ish miles with no issues (w/ exception of mechanicals)

*If life happened, and you have been off your bike for awhile, pls carefully consider if the planned ride is a good fit for you at this time.

*If you are new to our group and have not ridden with us yet, but would like to join us, pls message me or the event leader. This is will respectfully allow us to determine if the planned ride is a good fit for you.

*As with all our rides, we will look out for each other, but you are responsible for your skill/ability and safety and coming prepared with everything you need to be self sufficient.

Non E-Riders: For folks that would like to piggy back on any ebike epic and post up a separate but modified version of the ride (ie slower pace, less miles etc, feel free to plan it and post it. We can try to all meetup afterwards for the post ride fun. :)

Post Ride Fun: TBD (we can either pack a lunch or grab a bite somewhere)

I'll schedule this as a weekly event for now, but may modify frequency based on interest and turnout.

Sound good? Alright...where we wanna ride??? Below are several ride ideas but other ideas welcomed. Cheers!
