SUMMARY:Mike's Team Active Women-led Bike Ride
DESCRIPTION: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? \nWe’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! \nFirst ride of the year is scheduled for Tuesday\, April 28\, and we’ll plan to ride each Tuesday through September. \nQuestions? Send us a message on Facebook or give us a call at 269-962-7688! \nFor this ride\, we may also have a bike to loan if you’re interested in checking it out but don’t have a bike in good condition.

Or are you looking to get outside and move your body in a low-impact way? \nWe’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. Maybe you want to work your way up to longer rides on your bike\, meet new people\, or get active and outside! \nWe’ll gather in the parking lot behind the bike shop and take off at 6:15pm. 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! \nFirst ride of the year is scheduled for Tuesday\, April 28\, and we’ll plan to ride each Tuesday through September. \nQuestions? Send us a message on Facebook or give us a call at 269-962-7688! \nFor this ride\, we may also have a bike to loan if you’re interested in checking it out but don’t have a bike in good condition. Reach out to us before the ride to check availability!
