Women Only Ride | June 28 6:30PM

UPDATE: Ride cancelled. The AQHI has actually gone down, but it seems to have scared everyone away and we only have 3 women signed up. We’ve decided the more ladylike thing to do is drink strawberry daquiris on the porch.

Note: We will have to cancel the official ride if the AQHI is 7 or higher : ( . Please be sure to check back here at 5:30 for a final decision.

Ladies, it is hard to believe it has been two weeks since our last ride together!! Hope you can join us for another round of fantastic riding with great women. This ride will run on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month. It is intended to foster a supportive and safe riding culture where women can help women grow in the sport of cycling. The speed and length of this ride may vary to suit those that show up. When there is a larger turnout, the ride may divide into two speed groups. The GCC is keen for the women’s ride to grow as more participants and ride leaders become available.

Bringing lights is always a good idea.
