Area rides and meetups

Hello,

New to the forum here. Looking to see if anyone knew of any meetups for group road bike rides. Looking for the weekend to start. In the Fort Mill/Pineville/Ballantyne/S Charlotte area. Very new to road biking. 

My wife was interested as well, but for mountain biking meetups same area.... 35 and over group if there is such a thing.

Thank you!

For mtb we do an all ages multii-group (one faster, one slower) wed evening ride at beatty, come on out and join us. Usually plenty in the post 35 cat (myself included). Its a night ride part of the year and an after work evening ride the other part of the year. New folks always welcome/appreciated. Look for the post in the section of the forum above. It is sometimes canceled due to weather.

I would be happy to road ride with you, but I'm not familiar(bike friendly areas) with that area. I live near WWC and have several routes around here that I consider bike friendly, 10 to 50 miles. Shoot me a PM if interested.

This is where you need to look if your looking for a road ride.  They have a facebook page also.  

Don't let age dictate speed, a lot of times it has been my experience that most older guys are faster than the younger ones.
