Tuesday Night Ladies Ride!

Come Ride with Us!

Lights are required!



We will need 6 registrants by 4PM Tuesday afternoon for the ride to roll.


The weather tomorrow is PERFECT! The ONLY acceptable excuse for missing the ride is because you are in line to VOTE. Civic duty IS more important than a bike ride. Kidding, not kidding!


Tomorrow night will be low winds, a bit of a chill in the air (we will be riding in the low 60s), and DARK. The time change means that we will be riding mostly in the dark so please make sure you lights are fully charged.


The ladies ride meets near the old Tri-shop on the NE corner of Windhaven and Communications. The easiest way to find us is to turn into the Pinstack parking lot off of Communications Parkway.


Something to consider for in the future.

There has been some chatter about possibly moving the start location to the Brass Tap on Preston (Caffeine Cruise Parking Lot). It is a little more centrally located, the Brass Tap also stays open late, and as much as we love Geckos as an after-ride watering hole, some of the regulars are wanting a change of menu. Feel free to let me know in the comments what you think about this possibility in the FUTURE.


LIGHTS REQUIRED!!!!


We will ride combined D+/C- pace for the fall/winter months. (14.5 -16). If you are not able to maintain a 14.5 group average in the light, you will not be comfortable on this ride. Our las complete ride we rolled in at a nice solid 15.3 average.


THIS IS NOT A NOVICE RIDE. If you are successful and feel comfortable on the PBA Step-Up ride, this ride will feel spicy -- but you will be just fine on this ride. If PBA Step-Up is a struggle, we recommend you wait for when we resume split rides in the Spring.


This is a D+/C- pace. (14.5-16).

We have a ~27 mile ride. There is not official rest stop -- we will stop by request. We will ask around mile 18 and again around mile 23 as those are the only easy places to stop.


The Ladies Ride is a SOCIAL ride -- AFTER the ride we enjoy the patio at Cafe Gecko to unwind and relax.
