She Got Bike! A Festival of Women's Cycling is one of the nation's few and Maryland's only all-women's cycling events. Its mission is to give every woman, regardless of ability or fitness level, access to one of the most life-affirming activities around - riding a bike.
The day includes several ride options and all kinds of activities, as well as exhibitors offering cool cycling, health and fitness related stuff. You'll ride Baltimore's scenic roads and then enjoy a women's-specific cycling expo, fashion show, yoga class and a lecture on cycling training and nutrition. Registration is at active.com and you can click on the link above to get there. We are hoping for 500 women this year - so please register early!!!

The Rides
"The Spin" is a 14 mile introduction to road riding. Come early for a beginning rider's instructional clinic. Then test your legs and practice your skills on low traffic, rural roads.
"The Power Push" is a 25 mile ride through Baltimore County horse country. This ride is mostly rolling hills but some steeper ones will get the heart rate up! Rest stop at mile 9.
"The Un-Race Race Ride" is hosted by the region's women's race teams for women interested in bicycle racing. Women racers will lead you on the 25-mile route and answer all your questions about racing and training and is designed for any woman interested in bicycle racing, regardless of her current fitness level.
"The Crank" is a 46 mile ride designed for the more experienced rider. A beautiful ride, largely in the Piney Run Rural Legacy Area with lots of scenic valleys and..... hills! Worth the effort! Rest stop at mile 15. Optional stops at miles 30 and 42.
"The Bonk" is a 62 mile ride through picturesque
northern Baltimore County that will test your stamina and your legs.
Two rest stops to refuel and refresh.
All rides are on mixed terrain - flat, rolling and
hilly - challenging, but fun and doable even for beginners. The best SAG
support you'll ever see!
