    Do you have a bike you haven't ridden in a while? Or are you looking to get outside and move your body in a low-impact way? We're hosting a women-led ride this year on Tuesday nights, and we'd love to see you if you're interested in riding but haven't in a while.

We'll ride the Linear Trail, which is fully paved, and rides will start short in the spring- just a few miles- and we'll plan to increase ride length throughout the summer based on the group's interest & abilities! First ride of the year is scheduled for Tuesday, April 28, and we'll plan to ride each Tuesday through September. Questions? Send us a message on Facebook or give us a call at 269-962-7688!
