Once a year, riders around the world unite, taking part in a day called CycloFemme. FROM THOSE LEARNING TO RIDE TO PRO RACERS, WE DISCOVER THE JOY AND EMPOWERMENT OF THE RIDE, TOGETHER.
CycloFemme is a Global Women’s Cycling Day created to HONOR THE PAST and the emancipation of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers, for the freedom to choose and the chance to wear pants; TO CELEBRATE THE PRESENT and the riders who keep it rolling, bringing women’s racing to the forefront, pushing the limits, breaking down barriers and sharing the love of bicycling with everyone along the way; TO EMPOWER THE FUTURE of women in bicycling and the opportunity for positive social change.
More below on the road ride, mountain bike ride, and townie ride. All rides will end at NBB with high-fives and libations.
