    How far do you go on the Flagstaff ride? I'm interested but would like to better understand what the ride is like. Thanks.

    Smile Hello!

    Ladies,

    Just found this forum. I would love to join the rides. I am out in NE Mesa. Normally ride close to home. I have been considering doing the Tour de Scottsdale, but not sure if I am ready yet.

    Fountain Hills, I would like to do the Rio Verde ride with you some weekend.

    I have only been rideing since June. I average about 13-15mph, varies with distance and hills . I am up to 45-50miles for my long weekend ride.

    I will check the posts for the upcoming rides. I love to go in the early morning.

    The ride is anywhere from 30-48 miles. Most people do not do the 48. This ride is a relatively flat (some rollers) ride. It is an out and back so if you don't want to go as far, you can turn around. There are several places on the ride where people will generally turn around so most of the time you will have company on the way back.

    What else would you like to know?

    Ask MtnKitchen about the ride, she has ridden the whole 48 miles.

    Arizona rides

    Hi,

    I just found your site, very cool. It's hard to find women to ride with so I'm excited to see so many here. I already ride with groups on Saturday and Sundays but I wanted to extend the offer out to anybody looking to find a good group to ride with.

    On saturday's I ride with a group out of Desert Hills (north phoenix). The pace varies and we actually need a bigger fast pace group IMO. So any quicker gals who aren't up to riding with the teams around town just yet but still want to push themselves, please come out! We meet at Carefree and Cave Creek rd, email me if you want more specifics.

    Sunday I ride with a group in Paradise Valley. We do strictly hill work, lots of repeats! It's actually a lot of fun, nice short steep hills, but nothing impossible to climb though. This has really helped me to learn a lot about gearing and how to relax and not panic. Hills are all mental for me! Again, please email me if you are interested.

    Again, I'm happy to see so many women here!

    Sincerely,

    Tiffany

    Jan, I'd love to do that Flagstaff ride again! Unfortunately, I'm working Saturdays this month. Maybe there will be some nice Saturdays in November!
