Thank you to all the volunteers, ladies and gents that made this ride possible! It was super fun and a great route. Can’t wait for the next ride! My mom and I really enjoyed it.

Very much enjoyed the Ladies Ride vibe: positive, friendly & FUN! Met so many cool people and saw lots of familiar faces from past rides… loved the jello shots, bubbles, parrot man, dog in the basket, music, goofy security guards on the parking garage… so many great moments!
Major shout out to the route designers… particularly enjoyed the stretch by the Williams Street Park, the loops around the park downtown (I was sooo hoping we’d do that again, we did that last year as well)… also very much appreciated a regroup with a restroom too! woo!
Well done and again thank you for putting together such a successful ride!!!!
Looking forward to next year’s already!

Had fun riding with the ladies last night it is truly a different vibe. Don’t get me wrong I like riding with the guys too, but the Ladies Ride is truly special. Instead of security kicking us out of our regroup location we approached them initially and let them know we were just a bunch of ladies out enjoying a ride. He asked “and not shopping?” I replied ha ha probably not today. Their only request was that we turn the music down a little. Next thing I know they are asking if they could take pictures with us. Once again there we were with men in uniform on the Ladies Ride, last year our start was at a Fire Station. I hope everyone had a good time I know I did.
