Join Team Lunachix for a tour of the Peninsula this Saturday June 9th.
All of our rides are no drop. We will have ride leaders for two ride levels.
One is geared for the newer woman cyclist who is still gaining confidence,
working on
building her distance and endurance on the bike. This route will be
approximately 25
miles and will have no significant climbs. (Terrain 2, Pace L).

The second level is geared for women who have more biking experience, are ready
to
climb some, and feel comfortable doing about 40 miles. This ride has short
climbs (with
some steeper grades) and rolling hills, and it offers beautiful views of the bay
and
foothills. (Terrain 3, Pace M)

We will have route sheets for both both levels.

Meet at Woodside Townhall (corner of Whiskey Hill Rd. and 84).
We will be there at 8:30 am, and the ride leaves promptly at 9am.
What to Bring: your ID, cell phone, water, and some snacks for the ride.
Route Sheets will be provided as well as LunaBars.

All LUNA Chix rides are No Drop, which means that the group will wait at all
regroups for
slower riders to catch up. The leader may, however, suggest an alternative
"bailout route"
to riders unable to keep up with the published pace. If you have questions about
the pace
or terrain, please contact the Ride Leader in advance of the ride.
Average mph means average ride speed for the entire ride excluding rest stops or
regroups, under ideal conditions of dry roads, moderate temperatures, no
precipitation,
and no wind. For different terrain or conditions, the paces correspond to the
same amount
of effort by the same rider, and may therefore have different average speeds.
