Womens Thursday Evening Road Ride
Every Thursday Evening starting spring of 2008 Thursday Night Women's Road Ride Women only bicycle rides will resume this spring every Thursday evening from the LaGrange General Store at 6:00 pm. The distance will be about 20 miles at an average pace of about 15 miles per hour. Over the season the distance and pace will increase but a shorter distance and/or slower pace are always optional. Maps are provided before the bike rides. A "social" after the rides at the Lagrange General Store is a fun way to end the evening. Women of all abilities are welcome. Faster and slower groups are anticipated to accommodate training rides and fun/leisure rides. These are road rides done on local back roads (not mountain biking) so it is advantageous to have a suitable road bike. Helmet, water, snacks and biking clothes are also needed. For more information please call Mary at 262-473-8451 or to be included on a bike-ride distribution email list, email Mary at mary@jrsweb.com.
