Saddle up and Let's get together!

Ladies,
We hope you will be able to ride on February 28th. We will be heading toward Sebastopol, but we are fine tuning the route. We will provide a map of the route on Facebook and the morning of the ride.  We hope to have a few new faces joining us.  

We will be riding at 10 am starting at the Prince Greenway Park by the big fish statue at the corner of Santa Rosa Ave. and Sonoma Ave. Just a note that there isn't a bathroom near the start of the ride.

Mark your calendar! On March 12th from 7-8:30pm, at the Bike Coalition World Headquarters we will have an evening Biker Chick Bike Clothing Swap with hors d'oeuvres and beverages. Please bring gently used bike clothing (no used shorts or tights with chamois please) or equipment you are interested in passing on to another Biker Chick. Hope to see you there!

Remember to use hand signals...
Being predictable is a big part of staying safe while you ride. To signal a left turn point left with your left arm. Signal a right turn by pointing right with your right arm.  To signal that you are slowing or stopping put your left arm our with the palm down. Easy, right? You can also help by pointing out things like broken glass or other road hazards. Simply point at the problem as you ride by to alert rider behind you to watch out.
