Hey ladies come join us every Thursday for our neighborhood ladies ride. Our ride leaders Karen & Carolyn bring you a friendly low intensity environment with all the fun of a group ride except this one is just for the girls.

Hills of the Foothills here we come. Please do not be deceived by the posted average speed. This is a course of intense, short, and steep hills around the foothills.
