Sunday, May 10: Celebration of Women’s Cycling
- Come join us on a ride to celebrate women’s cycling on May 10 in conjunction with the internationally celebrated CycloFemme! We’ll meet at Kline’s Dairy Bar, 58 East Wolfe Street, at 2:00 pm and ride for about an hour.
- This ride is for anyone who wants to celebrate women, mothers and daughters; you do not have to be a female to ride. We ride at a comfortable, casual pace and no one will be left behind! Whether this is your first ride in years or if you’re a pro, join us for a fun, short ride.
- Join the Women of Harrisonburg on Wheels Facebook group for updates and details on this ride and others!
- Local public radio, WMRA, had a piece on the planned Charlotesville CycloFemme with some insight from the organizer, “I’d probably been riding a bike for a year before I ever went on a ride with a group of women. And it’s like night and day. It’s just so incredibly different the energy and spirit that women bring to cycling versus men. People are much more encouraging and supportive and less competitive than the men that I’ve ridden with. So showing up to a group ride almost always will mean showing up to a group that’s predominantly male and I have always felt like I have to prove myself in those situations, but I think with a group of women it feels very, very different, it feels much more supportive and encouraging.”
