The theme for this year's ride will be Heart Health as heart disease kills more women than ALL forms of cancer combined and also kills more than 50,000 women of color annually. The event rolls rain or shine. We will be at Pavillion West.

In honor of Heart Health, we are asking all women to wear red.

There will be 2 ride distances: Approximately 33mile and 21mile

We want everyone to return close to the same time so we ask that you pick your route accordingly based on your skill level. There will be SAG provided for the both routes; however, SAG will be for bike malfunctions only. Please make sure your bike is in good working order prior to the ride. There will be bike mechanics on-site prior to the ride so if you are unsure of the condition of your bike, we encourage you to get it checked prior to the ride if you have not already done so prior to the day of the event. These mechanics will be available on a first come first serve basis and can not guarantee they can repair all bikes prior to the start of the ride. There are a few rollers and we want to make sure everyone rides and returns safely. You are responsible for having your own tire change supplies as SAG will be there to assist with tire changes and mechanical issues only. If you have not been riding your bike but still want to participate in the ride, please be on the lookout for clinics

that will be held prior to the event.
