I just saw this lonely post in the Geographic riding areas forum. How rude of the whole board to ignore you! Anyway, welcome. I don't know about the PA area, but there are lots of us here in MD/DC/VA area who love to ride. Wherabouts are you in eastern PA?
By the way, there is a spring ride for the VA area riders on May 7th if you're free and it's not too far away for you. Look for the thread in this forum.
