Venus de Miles Bike Ride For Women Only

August 27, 2009 | 2 Comments

Today is the last day to register for the second annual Venus De Miles women’s-only bike ride to take place in Colorado (near Denver) on August 30, 2009.

Run by women for women of all skill levels, the Venus de Miles road ride offers three different bike courses from which you can choose from:

(1) a 35-mile jaunt through scenic countryside,
(2) a bit more challenging 50-mile course, or (3) a tough 65-mile climb through Jamestown.

If you miss the registration deadline, there is still a possibility you can get in as they are allowing late registration up until the day of the event (at a slightly higher fee of course).  But be aware that they are capping this year’s ride at 1500 riders.  Your registration fee also gets you a free T-shirt, lunch and beer after the race, a celebration in the park with prizes plus activities such as massages, mini-facials, yoga, and more.  But your registration not only benefits you, the rider.  This bike ride is in support of Greenhouse Scholars, an organization providing mentorship and scholarship to high-performing, under-resourced students.

If you want to attend, you can find more details for the Venus de Miles bike ride here.  Or you can find updates on the Venus de Miles blog.  Everyone is a winner on this ride, so get your Trek bike dusted off and loaded in the car.
