What we’re about
Welcome to the Lehigh Valley Cycling Club's Meetup Calendar. Here we list our cycling events, and some non-cycling fun as well. Our recreational, social rides are available at various paces and will take you mostly around the counties of Lehigh and Berks. We are blessed to experience the beauty that makes up this part of Pennsylvania.
While we are happy to see so many take an interest in our Ride Calendar, following here does not grant LVCC membership. We would be thrilled to have you all become dues paying LVCC members! Here are some of the benefits:
* We offer a full schedule of road and off-road rides for all levels.
* Bike shop discounts
* Insurance coverage for uncovered expenses if involved in a LVCC ride incident
* Monthly Grill 'n' Chill and annual Picnic
* Annual Holiday Party
* Overnight/weekend cycling trips
* Last but not least, LVCC is host to the now-famous Donut Derby!
Please see our website lvcycling.club for more information and contact info.

Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Monday virtual Rouvy rideLink visible for attendees
This is a recurring LWA virtual ride, at 10 am every Monday during the Fall & Winter season. If you RSVP to this ride and see an announcement of an outside LWA ride on the same day, please check the attendees list below to see if others, including the ride host, have opted to ride outdoors instead. I will make comment if I am not doing this virtual ride, but not delete in case someone else wants to take the lead.

If you have previously participated in Rouvy rides with a Discord conference call, you know what to do.If you are new to this, then your first step should be to read this document: LVCC Virtual Rides
Each week, I will publish in this Meetup, the name of the Rouvy ride that we will use.
Launch the Rouvy application and search for this route. After entering the ride, choose the warmup option. This will put your avatar on the start line so that you can wait for the other riders to join you. You’ll see a list of them on the left side of the screen. When everyone is ready, the ride host will announce the start of the ride, just as they would on an in-person ride.
If you plan to connect to the other riders using Discord, you should do this before joining the Rouvy ride, as Rouvy only runs in full screen mode or join Discord on a separate device like a smart phone or tablet.
