The route is designed to be accessible for riders of all ability levels and experience, so I think both of you should enjoy it! :) The ride will start at 6:00. Since it is 15 miles, plan on being out for about 3 hours as this will not be a fast-paced ride and there will be rest stops along the way. See you there! Katie Hi Adri,

American Susan B. Anthony said in a New York World interview on February 2, 1896: "Let me tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel...the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood."

My daughter who just turned 12 wants a new bike, and I would love to take her to this event. Is this appropriate for a 12 year (she's as tall as me...LoL).? She plays sports, so she should be able to hang for the 15 mile ride, most likely better than Mom. Please advise....thanks!

There will probably be one more test ride before the real ride on July 24th, so keep an eye out for that. The Ladies Ride itself is really for women, but there are many men who are chivalrously volunteering to help out with the ride. :) Please encourage your lady friends to come out on the 24th, newcomers are encouraged to attend!
