Last weekend, these eighteen awesome women joined me for a challenging route up, and more importantly, down, the trails on the West side of Anthony Chabot Regional Park in Castro Valley. I noticed afterwards that we’d done this exact route 364 days previously! I’m not ashamed to repeat myself: this was the 14th edition of Ride Like a Girl since the pandemic hiatus, so we’re definitely on a roll.
My favorite moment happened after the ride: As I was putting my bike away, I glanced across and saw a happy group of (slightly dusty) women swapping stories, tips and making friends under a shady tree. Now that’s what Ride Like a Girl is all about.
The next ride will be on September 17, 2022. Follow BTECB on Facebook or Meetup and we’ll let you know when signups open. We always ride on the third Saturday of the month, so why not block your calendars well into the future!
