What we’re about
This group is for women over 40 who want to cycle in the company of other women at a more relaxed pace than some of the other cycling groups/clubs. The group will go on at least one ride per week, on the weekend. We will try to get out in the morning (not too early). Rides will be in and around the city and try to stay on bike paths whenever possible. Each ride will be 1 - 2 hours, with some longer rides throughout the summer. The pace will be about 20 km/hour, but the group will be flexible enough to accommodate those wanting to go a little faster and those wanting to spend more time smelling the flowers.
If you like cycling and want to find other active 40+ women to cycle with, this is the place for you.
No membership dues or fees required.
By participating in this group you are agreeing to abide by the following waiver:
