FemmeRide

Our Mission: To connect women who love biking with social, recreational, competitive and cross-training opportunities. Never been riding before? That’s ok too! We provide learning opportunities for women who are interested. Monthly meetings held at Princeton Sports of Columbia.

Meetings:

• Clinics: Femme will provide women with clinics on roadside/trailside repair, bike maintenance, and bike etiquette.  Also, as triathlon season comes upon us we will offer training tips, as well as transition tips to help you make your best time ever!


• Rides: We have 2 scheduled rides per month. Each ride will take place on a Sunday morning at either Rockburn or Patapsco State Park. Rides are based for the beginner to intermediate level. If the demand increases for more difficult or challenging rides we will offer those in a timely manner. Femme is here to offer an opportunity for all women of all skill levels. NO WOMAN WILL BE LEFT BEHIND!


• Attached you will find a copy of our tentative ride schedule. Dates may change due to inclimate weather or poor trail conditions.
