Or they are really depressed and don't have the mental will to post.
I've thought about joining a riding club, but I have NO INTEREST in speed or road riding. So, once my life starts to be mine again (not caregiving my MIL with dementia) I will try to find a new tribe around something I like.
It's why I joined here. it's why I got on some FB groups local-ish to me for trail riding and I will start going to things they sponsor - like trail clean-up events. Group rides on trails. If I do that enough times, I'll start to know some people. Plus, people like people who HELP! I will at least start to be seen as someone useful to have around! LOL
I too have looked at some of these group rides and they are just too pricey. I'm not saying they aren't worth it, but they tend to offer way more than I need and then I'm paying for things I don't need.
But finding a tribe is only easy for some people, but it can be done! So don't give up hope!
