Anyone looking for a riding partner or maybe to go on some small group rides? Probably in the evenings during the week or anytime during the weekend?

Which Columbus do you mean?

oops, Columbus Ohio

What type of riding, road or trail or rail/trail, or bikepaths?

Was going to ask the same question next.

Look at the Columbus Outdoor Pursuits Bike Schedule (http://www.outdoor-pursuits.org/biking/rides.htm) for a good start.

I am planning on joining up with the Hilliard-Plain City ride this weekend. It will be my first group ride.

road riding

Depending on what area of Columbus you are in, you might also want to consider the Westerville Bike Club (http://www.westervillebicycleclub.org/) and their Ride Calendar (http://www.westervillebicycleclub.org/Calendar.pdf) as well.

any part of town in particular?

We'll i live in westerville but can go wherever on the weekends...

check columbus outdoor pursuits or go to the westerville bike shop and ask them, there are weekly rides leaving westerville and heading out into the rural area north east of westerville every week


all the group rides are on the outskirts of town---> westerville, dublin, canal winchester, and hilliard

im downtown where most rec riders refuse to ride

Joined the Hilliard-Plain City group this Sat AM and it was a great first group ride. The area is filled with cyclists (not just this group) to the point where the entire customer base of the breakfast stop was nearly all cyclists.

Highly recommended. Hope to be able to do this at least once / month.

Do you mean Bike Source? I'm in there pretty often - I didn't know they had organized rides though.

Really? I love riding downtown, especially around campus, but there are a couple of good trails down there too. I'm still exploring, but I like the one that parallels 315 up to 270 the best so far.

dunno if its bikesource or not, see link I posted in above post

I don't use the trails much, too slow, too dangerous, streets are better as far as Im concerned

I think Cyclist Connection in Canal Winchester does group rides every Sunday. I'm not 100% sure though.

They're just off of 33 & Gender. Great shop too. I'd do more business there, but they're pretty far from my apartment, and the Trek store is just down the street.
