Women Can Ride 2011
The Plan: The first ever women's only cycling program of its kind in the state! Modeled after the ever-popular Women Can Run series, we will divide into groups based on fitness/comfort level on the bike and meet twice weekly for group rides. Participants will learn the basics of bicycle riding (shifting, braking, etc), the rules of the road, group ride etiquette, and more. Training goals and rides will be catered to meet the needs of each rider group.
Who Can Participate: Women ages 16 and up (under 18 must have parent’s permission).We hope that you'll join us whether it's been years since your last bike ride or you're looking to get into racing.
When: Saturday, May 14th, 10am: Orientation - Packet Pick-up, Road Skills 101 -Please note the change in time. We've pushed the start time to 10am to accommodate those who would like to participate in the American Cancer Society's 5k for Life that morning.
