“Let me tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel…the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood.” -- Susan B. Anthony
Help us celebrate International Women's Day with a favorite ride through the Sonoma wine country. Rolling hills, low traffic, and rows upon rows of vineyards just coming into bloom await us. This is Steph's favorite Bay Area ride (Drake's Beach is the close runner-up, but we already did that!), and you all know that whatever ride Jess is on is her favorite ride. Meet at Esposti Park in Windsor. From there we make our way to lunch on the green in Healdsburg. Lunch options include a kinda-fancy market from which you can get whatever you like, a taqueria just off the green, or coffee and pastries from a local coffee shop -- or fancy ice cream, or you could just bring your own. Do bring water because temperatures may be warm, be prepared for cool temperatures at the start, and 20% or greater chance of rain will cancel -- check the website for any updates the night before. The start location has bathrooms and plenty of parking. Ride is rated TM, but all paces comfortable navigating on their own are welcome. Please download your preferred navigation method prior to the start since there will not be a sweep. It's International Women's Day, so we invite ALL Grizzlies to celebrate "free untrammeled womanhood," the women of GPC, and the women in their lives.
