    My ride was/is called the Classy Ladies Cupcake Ride. It's for ladies only.
    In Nov. last year, it started out with about 5-6 ladies, and every month we would have about 3-8. The last one I did was in April and only one person showed up. Nobody expressed interest in May, and summer is honestly just too hot to ride (with temps nearing 100 by noon every day). I might restart the group again in the Fall, but I don't know...
    I created a Facebook page for it and there are over 80 women joined on the page. I don't know if it's worth the effort if only a couple people show up each month, but maybe it is. I met a really great lady in February, and we're very good friends now, so that's what keeps me open to continuing to do the rides.
