What a great fun event Tour de Ladies!
Looks like it.
What a great way to raise money for worthy causes! And also, many thanks for the definition of SAG...I didn't know that..hmmm
Group rides are always fun. I'm encouraged to see more women's only events. It ultimately brings more people into the sports.
I've only once been on any kind of a long bike ride and I got scammed into it by my brother, but it would be fun to see if I could hold up to the challenge of these distances.
There is no way I could ever possibly bike such a long distance, but I'd love to give it a try. It's really such a shame that these kinds of events for anyone and everyone aren't held down here often.
Too hot and humid down south maybe?
What a great event to benefit the Restoration Outreach Project (ROP).
I hope all who partipate in the Tour de Ladies benefit for the Restoration Outreach Project (ROP) have a wonderful time and have great weather to ride.
Got something to say?
