Any non-Ebike groups in Hertfordshire?

I'm at an age (55) where most of my off road friends have moved over to E-bikes. Also, despite this they also don't tend to get out all that much these days. I still feel as fit as I was in my 30's so I'm resisting an E-bike for the moment, but finding it hard to get motivated now that the autumn weather is arriving. So just wondering whether there is any way of contacting fellow non-E-bike riding groups in Hertfordshire and/or North London? Any groups on here that ride out regularly at weekends?

Depending where you are OTT seem reasonably active. I loath group riding so not a member but see them around from time to time.

Used to be a group riding from jolly sailor but think that migrated to BC cycles in St Albans. Not sure how formal that is but again see a group out reasonably often in their kit.

Thanks, will check them out. Not into riding in kit, but would just like some other to ride with regularly to keep the motivation high.

Great, thanks for this. Do you mean mixed as in men and women, or mixed as in E-bike and normal MTB (or both)?

I think there’s a couple groups in Berkhamsted and Hemel Hempstead? I sometimes come across them in the woods around Ashridge.

Hi, I'm in north London, similar age, and ride most weeks either from Enfield up into Hetfordshire or I take the Hertford North train up to Bayford, Hertford, Watton, Stevenage etc. 

Are you on Komoot? I'm more XC with a hardtail or gravel than throwing myself off jumps and down ravines.
