What timing... "Next Saturday is the women-only Meet-The-Team ride. A perfect opportunity to come out for a mellow, social ride at a conversational pace and get to know some of the teams who are looking for more women racers.

WHERE: Kettleman's Bakery
2235 SE 11th Avenue
WHEN: Sat, Sept 6 @ 9am
WHO: ALL women riders looking for a team and
ALL teams looking to recruit more women"

Portland Velo will be there, look for the black & blue. While this does read racers, it is probably a fair opportunity to learn about the local clubs as well. Besides, you won't be here long before the Cyclocross bug bites ya!
