Chicks that ride weekends!

Did you get out and ride this weekend?  Rumor has it that Chris may have ridden a horse?

Becky did the OCW women's training ride on Saturday and was able to do 34 miles staying with the pack!  Great job.  This group will meet every Saturday morning at the Square in Irvine with your choice of ride lengths.  It will be a no-drop ride with coaching and guidance.  The aim is to increase ride lengths so that you are ready for the Amtrak century come September.

Cyndi rode with her husband in the Tour of Long Beach, benefiting the Pediatric Unit at Long Beach Memorial Hospital.  This was Cyndi's first metric in 15 years.   She had to break that new bike in with a good solid ride.  

Pat and Theresa attended the Courageous Women of Dirt mountain bike clinic at Irvine lake.  Although they only ended up with about 2 1/2 miles, being out in the sun and concentrating on all the new skills was pretty exhausting.


Pat and Theresa also joined the Tough Chik team for the International Women's ride day, CycloFeme 2013.   30 quick miles of the Santa Ana River Trail.  It was hot and there was a headwind going down, but the girls all ended with a smile on their face and ready to plan the next one.


This Wednesday will be the Ride of Silence, honoring those that have been injured or killed in a bicycling accident.   We will meet at our normal spot and ride over to meet other cyclists from all over Orange County at Irvine City Hall to begin the easy slow ride.   Be sure to bring lights.
