Do you like to ride $5,000 carbon bikes, follow strict training programs, measure your wattage, and track your nutrition?

This ain't the goddamn club for you.


Instead, this is the club for all of the former fixed gear kids: for those whose knees no longer really work correctly, but whose hearts sure still do. At ETGF we're all about getting on your bike, riding around, eating questionable food from the nearest gas station, and having a good time. We don't give a shit what kind of bike you ride, and we certainly don't give a shit about what kind of clothing you wear. All we care about is riding bikes, pushing yourself as a human, and having fun.





THURSDAY NIGHT RIDES


We ride every 3rd warm(ish) Thursday night (weather permitting) at Roger Williams Park. We meet at 5:30 PM (ish), and we start at 5:45 PM (sharp). For up-to-date information about the status of the ride on any given week, please check our Strava or Instagram pages.

We meet here. There is a parking lot with ample spots if you would like to drive to the ride.

After the ride we meet back up at the starting point, eat snacks, and hang out. Bring a snack! Come hang out!



There will be 2 riding groups available depending on your skill level:

Normal (Razzle)

12-14 mph average pace, 2 laps (8 miles), no drop (you will not be left behind)

Fast (Dazzle)

15 mph average pace, 2-3 laps (8-12 miles)


You do not need any special bike nor bike clothing to participate. It is preferred that riders use a single speed or fixed gear bike for this particular ride. Geared bikes are definitely welcome as well, however this is not a traditional group road ride and we don't go super fast. If you plan on showing up riding a Cervelo and wearing a skinsuit, please don't come. There are a million other rides out there for that style of riding.



Weekly Ride Rules

1. Don't Ride Like An Asshole

You are not a fixed gear messenger bike god riding in NYC. You are just some person riding a bike around a residential park in the smallest state in the union. Don't blow through stop signs, don't squeeze between cars, let families walk safely through crosswalks, etc. If you ride like a dick, we will ask you to not come back.

2. Don't Act Like An Asshole

We all want to ride bikes, eat snacks, hang out, and have fun. That's it. Don't talk about controversial shit, don't be a racist asshole, etc.

3. Be On Time

We are beginning the ride promptly at 5:45 PM, so please allow yourself enough time to unload your bike and prepare. The park can be somewhat confusing, so if you are unfimilar with the layout please show up early enough to have time to find the starting point. If you show up at 5:40 PM and still have to unload your bike from the car, put on your gear, eat a snack, etc., we don't care and will absolutely leave without you. Please respect everyone else's time commitments.

4. Wear A Helment

Didn't bring one or don't wear one? You don't ride with us this week.

5. You Are Responsible For You

We are not responsible for your safety. You have chosen to ride your bike with us, and you will deal with whatever consequences those decisions bring about. Crashes happen and they absolutely suck for everyone involved, but we can't prevent crashes, and we can't guarantee your saftey. Ride at your own risk.

6. Bring A Flat Tire Repair Solution (Optional)

We will all encounter a flat tire at some point. It would be helpful if you could bring a spare tube (preferred) or a patch kit for when this happens. While we would love to help and/or teach you how to fix a flat, we may not have the materials to help you get riding again.
