Welcome John,
You are at the right place.

Howdy and welcome to the forums!

Welcome to the forums John!

hello everybody!

Hi John, I'm in Bristol at the lower end of the E. Bay Bike Path. I ride the bike path quite a bit since it is nearly outside my door. I have been riding almost every Sunday with the Narragansett Bay Wheelmen. This coming Sunday the club has a ride beginning at the Lincoln Mall with options for three distances. https://www.nbwclub.org/ It is not necessary to be a member to join a ride. Maybe we can get together for a ride. I ride from 10 to 60 miles but I'm slow.

well yea i usually ride the east bay bike path, nice and scenic. I ride from riverside all the way down to down town Bristol.
i'm not so sure if i'm going to be so available this weekend, but if so, I'll be riding.
I don't know what do you mean by slow, I usually keep a steady pace. I am by far not breaking any records or trying to set any time with the bike i have now. just basically recreation riding
but i took a quick glance at the website you linked me to.
looks really good and interesting but at the moment i'm not sure if I can make any commitment to riding every Sunday.
but I'll keep you posted on here.
