Yes, there are a bunch of riders in that area........but be prepared to ride your ass off. I am not joking there are some roads in those mountains (125, 74, 333, etc.) that will twist you and your bike into a knot!! I've ridden with these guys many times and they are very nice folks but they do ride hard. If you cannot keep up with the pace don't worry they will wait at the next stop sign, light or intersection for you, so don't push beyond your limits. You can find these folks and myself for that matter at
