I did the Cycle the Wave also. I did the Girly Girl (25 miles). It was great. The hills were not too much and the encouragement along the way not just from the cheerleaders, volunteers, and firemen/police, but also from the other women riding was wonderful. The weather was as close to perfect as possible.

I've done Cycle the Wave every year for its five years' existence. Most fun ride around. I don't know of any other similar ones in the region. I think it's modeled partly on Cinderella, which I think is in California, and Little Red Riding Hood, in Utah. http://www.fremontfreewheelers.org/cinderella/ and http://www.bccutah.org/lrrh/

I can speak highly of the Little Red Riding Hood- Adifferent kicky theme each year, limited to a certain umber of registrations, many male sag guys dressed as wolves, a token red riding hood (also male) to see everyone off, excellent support, rural agricultural river valley and foot hill riding, most roads closed to automobile traffic, lots of police help, happy send off breakfast and welcome party after with band and vendors of things bikey.
