Ride the wave!
To disable ads, please log-in.
Today is the last day to sign up (at the reduced rate) for this fabulous "women only" ride happening on Sunday, September 16th. Four distances: 12, 25, 42 and 62.
For more info check out: www.cyclethewave.org.
This ride benefits domestic violence programs. Definitely worthwhile.
I'm signed up for the "middle sister" - 42 miles."Don't go too fast, but I go pretty far"

Wouldn't miss it!
"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks

Odds are I will be in London by that time
I've ridden this one in the past, maybe 2-3 times. It's very well run and for a great cause! It's great to see they are adding shorter routes to increase participation.2014 Bobbin Bramble / Brooks B67

Wow, I would love to do this. I only have a mountain bike, but I guess I could ride the 15 miles.

You could do any route you want especially with "slicks". I've seen many MTB's on centuries, even multi-day tours like the California AIDS ride. If you have suspension front fork that will lock, that will help.
A road bike or flat bar road bike might seem ideal but if the route is hilly and/or rough pavement you may be happier than we are

Hooray! There are always a wide variety of bikes on these events, you won't be the only one by far on a mountain bike... the main thing is to just come and have FUN! Originally Posted by TrekDianna
