I’ve always wished for there to be some kind of way to meet other TR locals to ride with, instead of creeping through the TrainerRoad Strava group for people around Philadelphia like a weirdo. I realize right now may not be the best time but almost wish there was a locals section here, then again it would just be full of threads of “who else is from (insert small town here)”.
I always said this about strava. When traveling I always wanted to find local group rides, but searching through various websites became too bothersome.
I like that they now put a location next to your name so if I do scroll through the group I can quickly spot who’s in my state or a nearby one. Before I’d have to look at individual maps. I’ve found Strava very useful for meeting people, I’m going up to the mountains with my family in a month and just commented on a few peoples rides on random segments there to get some feedback for how the roads are up there. Everyone responded and was very friendly.
