Everyone, meet Liz! She'll be leading this month's FTWNB ride. This is a true no drop ride for Femmes/Trans/Women/Nonbinary individuals of all levels of experience, including those who have never been on a group ride before or have never ridden on the road. Please bring whatever bike you feel comfortable on and ride in whatever you feel comfortable in, a helmet is highly recommended. This is a social ride intended to help build confidence and connect folks who want friends to ride with. April's route is a special ride with a short social at Liz's home (no need to bring anything) and then return to BikeAthens. We expect the ride to be less than two hours. If the ~14miles round trip is an issue, Oconee Heights Church is our second start location (group from BikeAthens will arrive around 2:30, please be there and ready by 2:20). Contact Irene (they/she) at vice_president@bikeathens.org with questions. If you are an individual that does not identify as Femme, Trans, Womxn, or Nonbinary and would like to bike with a group, please attend the BikeAthens monthly Joy Ride or any of the other general group rides in town. Link in bio for the route info.
