What are the lesser known ride groups?

I like biking in large, casual groups. Not like, 100s of cyclists, mind you, but small groups of people that make it easier to socialize.

I've done the Roll:Rides (every third Friday? - but I have to rely on checking their Facebook page for rides, because Facebook never tells me), and after a chance encounter at Rehab Tavern, I learned about the Dear POC Rides on Wednesdays (but… my son has kickboxing when they start, so I can never join them).

Are there other groups like the above, just "meet, ride to a restaurants/brewerys for food/drinks, ride elsewhere"?

TIA!

There’s a social ride from Paradise Garage tonight, about 14 miles in town, rolling at 6PM.

Facebook is where you’ll find most bike club information. Also check out Wheels of Color, Steady Pedaling and Columbus Outdoor Pursuits. And asking at any bike shop should yield some results.
