The Lawrence-based “sisterhood of cyclists,” Velas will host its first annual Women’s Day Ride this Sunday at Broken Arrow Park, 2800 Louisiana St.
From their website:
We’re not a team or a collective of elite athletes.
We are a sisterhood of cyclists dedicated to sharing our love of riding with women of all ages and abilities.
We’re here to illuminate the joy of cycling and nurture participation through friendship, mutual support and simply being together—on and off the bike.
We’re celebrating these ideals with an organized ride this summer and invite you to join us!
There will be out-and-back 16, 30 and 50 mile routes along Old 59 HWY south of Lawrence, KS, with SAG stops at turn-arounds and support vehicles following.
Ride begins and ends at Broken Arrow Park with first riders off at 7:30am. 50 mile riders must be off by 8:30am. Ride will take place rain or shine. No refunds.
Ride proceeds will be going to the following charities in Lawrence: 100 Good Women, The Willow and The Care Center.
**MEN**
WE WANT YOU TOO! Just because this ride has “women” written all over it does not mean you cannot attend. Please ride with us and show your support!
