Women's Fun Ride and Clinic
Saturday, May 26, 2012

This is a beautiful 40-mile ride that includes a rest stop at Le Vigne Winery and an optional visit to the Templeton Farmer's market. Enjoy the camaraderie of other women, get some on-road riding tips and attend a clinic.

From 8:30 to 9:30, Team Chain Gang will hold a clinic for everyone to learn more about cycling and any women's specific riding topics you might be interested in.

Sponsored by the City of Paso Robles, you will start the ride from the fairgrounds at 9:30 am. At the rest stop you'll be entered in a raffle. Gifts are supplied by local merchants. Our "no rider left behind" will be in effect. You can do the full 40 or go for a shorter length or add a few challenging miles of hills.

Velo De Femme (2012) -- 42 miles

This Saturday-only ride is offered by the Rally for women who enjoy the camaraderie of other women riders and discover they can go on a bike ride without the guys. Men will be strongly discouraged to accompany the women riders. There will be on-road riding tips and a clinic before the ride. The ride will be lead by experienced women riders who will make sure no rider is left behind. At the first rest stop at Le Vigne Winery, all riders will be entered in a raffle. The gifts are supplied by local merchants. The ride is fairly easy to moderate going north along the river, turning eastward past Star Farms, stopping at Le Vigne Winery for a rest, continuing through the east side of Paso Robles, and on to Templeton where you will find the Templeton Farmer's Market at Templeton Park (6th & Crocker). After a rest stop at the Market, the ride heads northwest to the west side of Hwy. 101 through some fancy residential areas and onto Bethel Rd by Peachy Canyon Winery. Then it's a right turn on Hwy. 46 to Vine St and onward to downtown Paso Robles, heading back to the Fairgrounds. NOTE: There are notations on the route slip showing where to cut the ride short if desired or to add a few miles with some rolling hills as an added challenge.

PROFILE: 1686 feet of elevation gain. Mostly flat to moderately rolling hills with gentle grades. There are three sections of moderate climbing: Buena Vista Dr., South River Rd., and Vine St. adjacent to the freeway. A mixture of country roads and urban streets
