About this event

  • 1 hour 45 minutes

This is a NO DROP women's ride. That means: no one gets left behind! We will meet at the Samsara shop and ride for 75 -90 min on a route set by our ride leader, Maux Ellsworthy. The ride starts at 6.15pm, so please arrive a little earlier to meet the group and get the safety debriefing.

Prior cycling experience is necessary. However, this ride is meant to help ease riders to become more comfortable with group rides, so we are here to help and guide those without as much experience.

We HIGHLY recommend getting a Cycling BC membership. For only $93, you are covered in case of any accident while out riding. Please note: if you do not have a valid Cycling BC membership, you will be required to fill out a waiver in order to join our group rides.

About our Ride Leader: Maux just loves biking. A passionate bike commuter, cycle tour enthusiast, and occasional fondo rider, Maux grew her knowledge of safely leading a pack through the role of Domestique for a local cycling club. With a focus on safety, fun, and inclusion Maux loves sharing the joy of cycling with new riders, and is thrilled to co-lead group rides for Samsara this summer!
