Ok ladies, now let’s get En Route, I shared recently that I have been brewing up this women’s cycling group for some time now and it’s time we roll on to the actionable part and spread the good word together. I have teamed up with Machines For Freedom as a Machines Community Leader and my local bike shop Bikeway as supporters to get us ladies on the road representing the Hudson Valley.
On the first Saturday of each month we ride to explore beautiful places in the Hudson Valley on our bikes and meet new friends. Rides will focus on building fitness, improving climbing and bike-handling skills with a reward of a cafe break gathering mid or post ride.

THE FINE PRINT
We’re a laid-back group and encourage all levels of experience. if you’re unsure whether or not one of our rides is for you, please contact us or come along to a Saturday ride. No rides on rainy days. It is a ‘no drop’ ride with a social but average pace of 13-16 mph. Please note all of these rides are not supported and are undertaken at your own risk. We recommend you cycle on a road bike and are a confident rider with cleats (optional). Please also bring a helmet, carry a pump and tube for any punctures and nutrition to get you through the ride if you require it. For more rides and event updates, follow along on our Facebook page Hudson Valley Women’s Cycling Group.
