It's getting dark earlier and earlier so this week and next, RED TAILLIGHTS ARE A REQUIREMENT. If you don't have one, let Kelley know and she'll bring you an extra. It's a good idea to have a front white light too, especially those of you who ride to and from the start location.
This is our next-to-last ride of the season, so spread the word amongst your bike-curious friends to join us! We will be using the same route and will travel at the pace that allows us to stay together as a group.
The key to this ride is being welcoming and inclusive. If you're a strong, fast rider, remember what it felt like when you weren't. We value every woman who wants to ride with us and work hard to find a place for each rider that works best for her.
This weekly women's ride launches from The Bike Lane in Reston (11150 Sunset Hills Rd #110, Reston, VA 20190) PROMPTLY at 6pm on Monday evening. The ride will range from 18 to 25 miles and average 12-14mph.
Ride leaders are Cathy Miller, Laura Robinson, Mary Hill, Lori Allred, and Kelley Westenhoff. Rides are not held when the forecast for rain is greater than 50%. Ride cancellations will be posted on Social Media. If you are not comfortable riding on the roads, please contact one of us before you register for the ride.
Here is the route:

Please, at a minimum, have a red blinking tail light on your bike for visibility. Low sun angles can obscure drivers' view of cyclists in the best of circumstances.
If you drive to the ride start, please park as far away from the building as possible. There are other organizations/businesses in that building whose patrons need access. Thank you!
All riders must sign (or have already signed for 2019) a liability waiver. You can do that HERE. The first ride with us is free. We welcome you to join us on subsequent rides as a member. Membership is $25 per year and you can take care of that HERE.
