I'm looking for a low-key cycling club or regular group ride in New York, getting a little bored with solo riding. I'm not a racer, but I enjoy an ambitious ride. I did come across the Five Borough Bike Club, NYCC and NYCRC. Anything else out there?

I'll be traveling to Sayre, PA at the beginning of April and then again at the beginning of July. Are there any gravel rides or races near there during this time? Or would anyone have a favorite route they'd recommend? Any help or pointers will be appreciated. Thank you!
