Ride & Event Calendar

Please read Important Notes and What to Bring at the bottom of the schedule.

Check this calendar often! After all, we're women and it's our perogative to change our minds, right? If you've got questions about a ride or event, email the specific contact for that event or lorri@velogirls.com.

All Velo Girls rides & events are for girls & women only unless they are specifically noted as co-ed.
