I moved to New York this year with my bike and wondering if anyone knows of a decent forum. Looking to meet people for some upstate group rides and maybe some famous american gravel rides. Can't find much in the way of decent clubs here either. Cheers.

There is actually quite a lot of riding that goes on in the city - just a lot of it is shit. NYCC might be a good place to start for organised rides that venture both upstate and into NJ (but you will soon learn that pretty much every ride starts with an awkward roll-out uptown through Manhattan and over the George Washington bridge. There are also a few decent rides that incorporate a train ride from the city.

If you live on Manhattan then you will get used to doing many, many laps of Central Park (~10km)

Let me know if you have any luck on the gravel ride itineraries....id love to come along.

And of course, winter is almost here so there will be at least a couple of very harsh months, if not 3/4.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
