[VBC Buddies] National Women’s Ride Day with Specialized and Camas Bike and Sport

[Ed,Katina Fischer]

Ladies, Come Ride With Us On Sunday March 18th 

On March 18th, women across the nation will be gathering for "National  Women's 
Ride Day" to enjoy a  ride together on their local streets and  trails to 
celebrate women in cycling.  Whether you're an accomplished  rider or a 
first-timer, Women's Ride Day  events will help you strengthen your relationship 
with your bike and  with other women in your area who ride! 


Join Specialized and  Camas Bike and Sport as we will be organizing two rides 
from the shop. 

Our road ride will be a 30 mile loop using rural roads of the Camas  Hills, 
leaving from the shop at 10am. It will be lead by an experienced  Vancouver Bike 
Club ride leader(Ayla), and will regroup often to assure no one  is left behind, 
here is the route description; http://ridewithgps.com/routes/966842 Road bikes 
highly recommended!

A mountain bike ride will also be held, lead by shop co-owner Katina. This  ride 
will also leave from the shop at 10 am. If trail conditions  permit, group will 
carpool to Sandy Ridge trail or Tarbell trail,  otherwise alternate trail will 
be chosen. Plan for 2-3  hours of trail  time and 1.5 hours of travel time.

A limited amount of loaner/demo bikes may be available if you don't have your 
own bike. 

These rides will be open for all levels of riders, however If you still  feel 
that this may be too much for you and feel intimidated by the  distance/ and or 
elevation gains, we can upon request form a 3rd ride  for beginners about 15 
miles round trip from the shop to the end of the  Dike trail and back. 


All participants will receive and event  water bottle from Specialized, energy 
and recovery drinks from FRS,  water, and light snacks will be available. Maps 
will be provided. A few  small items may be raffled if participation is high 
enough!

Please come prepared and arrive a half hour early, as leaders will attempt to 
leave on time.

Helmets are required!

Weather statement: Yes, we know, the date suggests they scheduled this  event 
from Southern California?! So the chance that there will be rain  is likely, but 
us Northwest riders plan our rides and hope for the best!  In the unlikely event 
that we get rained out (LOL) we will reschedule  for the following week, but 
think only good thoughts!
