To encourage women in our community to come out and ride with other women. Routes will be on paved roads, so you can ride your road bike, hybrid or mountain bike.

Our target group is the beginner and intermediate cyclist, although more experienced cyclists are welcome to join in.

Your tour leaders are Pam Dawes and Kate Tinkler, with other members of the club helping out.

We will ride on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday evening of each month. Check this web page or the TBCC hotline (626-8725) for schedule changes.

Start locations will change for each ride so check the RIDE SCHEDULE often. Rides will start at 6:15 pm.

There will be two or three distances each week to choose from. We ride together in groups according to your ability. Our short rides are approximately 20km and there will be a "sweeper" to make sure the slowest riders make it back safely.

You must be a member of the Thunder Bay Cycling Club, so if you aren't already, you can join. A single membership for the season costs $60.

NOTE: There will be 2 "free" nights (May 5 and June 2) where women can join our club ride to test it out. If you want to ride with us a second time, you must become a member. If you have never been a TBCC member and you want to try out a ride on a different night, there is a $25 one time fee which will be applied to the cost of your membership should you decide to join the club.

For insurance purposes, you must be signed up and paid before you can ride with us. Membership forms are available on the TBCC website or at the beginning of our rides.

Helmets are mandatory for all rides. You should carry a water bottle and spare tube in case you get a flat - even if you can't change it yourself, someone can help you. A sag vehicle will be following the riders for the first few rides.
