Ride Description:

***WEATHER ALERT: As of Thurs, 5/29 we are anticipating rain in the morning on Saturday. We are therefore rescheduling this ride to NOON (same day) and rearranging the activities slightly. We will make a cancellation decision (if needed) by 9 PM on Friday, 5/30. Notice will be sent to registrants via email.

You won’t want to miss this exciting season kickoff that gets our weekend rides started! 

Reconnect, meet new friends, and gear up for a great riding season ahead! Join your fellow fierce women, woman-identifying, and nonbinary club mates for a  a beautiful no-drop ride and a post-ride social. We'll be sticking together and having tons of fun along the way. 

  • 11:45 AM: Welcome and route/safety talk
  • 12:00 NOON: We hit the road for ~25 miles.
  • Catch up at Contes for post-ride social after the ride
  • This is a no-drop ride.  Yup, that means you won't get dropped 3 minutes out of the parking lot and ride alone the rest of the way.  We ride together!

Note: For the safety of all, riders are expected to have some group riding experience. Please contact the Ride Leader if you have any questions.

See you there for some of the most fun riding CRW has to offer!

The CRW Women's/Nonbinary Program's goal is to invite more women, nonbinary, and female-identifying folks onto the road, foster connection with others in the club, and act as an on-ramp to other co-ed areas of the club. Feel free to contact the ride leader via email if you have any questions about this ride or the Women's/Nonbinary Program in general.
