I have always thought it would be fun to get a group of girls together who ride, and go for rips around town, showing each other our favourite routes, and teaching/learning different skills and tips along the way. Not to mention share in all the other life chatter that we girls do oh so well! If you're a woman who rides and want to meet up with other …
