In The Saddle

We're so excited to visit Southeast Asian Market in FDR Park on Saturday! Click through to learn more about this amazing market and community!

It’s been a minute since we’ve had regular In The Saddle gatherings, and we are more than excited to be back! We welcome you to join our *very casual* ride to the Navy Yard’s Central Green Park and the Southeast Asian Market in FDR Park. Meet outside the Oregon Ave stop of the Broad Street Line at 10am on April 15. If you are coming by SEPTA, you can bring your bike on the BSL (or a bus). No bike or don’t want to bring it? Cool! There’s an Indego bike share station there, as well as one in the Navy Yard and across Broad Street from FDR.

This is for all people of all abilities, so no matter what kind of biking you’ve done, how long it’s been since you’ve ridden, or what type of bike you have, you will feel at home. It’s only a couple miles of biking (plus whatever you did to get to Broad & Oregon and back home!) It’s really about hanging out and celebrating ourselves and the self care we are doing by taking time to get together. Feel free to bring your own coffee, tea, or snacks, and there will be plenty of other food and bev at the fantastic market in FDR.

Now if you are interested in longer rides, MTB rides, gravel rides, or other things that go beyond our simple format of fellowship, food, and fun, this will be a great place to connect with other folks in recovery who have similar biking goals.

Any questions about the event, how to take a bike on SEPTA, or anything else, please let us know in the comments below! And please share in your public and private networks!

In The Saddle's mission is to build a fellowship of recovering individuals through cycling, community

While we are bringing our weekly coffee rides into a Zoom meeting (slip into our dms for details), and doing any riding for exercise and/or errands solo, one of our ITS Philly members has been sharing (live and recorded) yoga classes designed for all levels of ability and comfort.

Brian has a Sunday Men's Class "Designed for men of all ability levels to build strength and flexibility in an informal setting," and you can find tomorrow's live on YouTube at 11am: https://youtu.be/hFvxLtDlaPs

This Saturday and every Saturday until we can ride together again (like in this pic from last fall's ITS retreat), we will be doing a live video chat at 9am ET. *** Message us if you want the meeting code. *** This week, we're going to try lighten up the mood a bit by talking about what we want to do outside with others after this clears up and also share our favorite rides.

How is everyone doing? Let us know how you have been dealing with physical distancing. Do you feel socially isolated, or have you been able to connect with others virtually.

Are you still riding outside, or are you keeping your workouts indoors? If you workout indoors, do you use any of the online platforms like Zwift, Trainer Road, or Rouvy? Which one(s)?

Don't forget that every Saturday at 9am ET, we're doing an ITS Zoom group coffee chat. Message us for details.

If you are interested in joining Saturday's 9am ET In The Saddle Zoom chat, message us or let us know in the comments and we will message you the log-in details.

Also, let us know how you are keeping busy and fit now. Are you still riding outside, riding more inside, doing other things?
