CANCELLED Nashville Area Women/FTW Only Ride – May 6, 2021
May 6, 2021 @ 6:00 pm - 7:45 pm
Out of an abundance of caution – and three weather sites that cite rain/thunderstorms from 6-8p tonight – I am CANCELLING this ride. Let’s hope for better riding days ahead! Thanks!
This ride will center returning and new riders who hope to gain confidence and knowledge about riding a bike. Rides will be between 6-10 miles. No rider left behind. We will traverse streets and greenways.
We will have a short (10 minute) maintenance demo at the beginning of the ride covering various topics like tire inflation, fixing a dropped chain, lubricating a drivetrain, and more. (Only one topic covered per ride!)
If necessary, we will divide up into groups of no more than FIVE riders, with a ride leader for each group and a sweep at the end. Masks are encouraged and highly recommended for non-vaccinated riders; for fully vaccinated riders, masks can be optional. *
Start locations will vary; hopefully we’ll have enough interest to do a Tuesday ride every 2 weeks and a Thursday ride every 2 weeks.
In case of inclement weather, the ride will be cancelled.
There is no charge for this ride, but donations to Bike Fun – a non-profit organization based in Nashville – are welcomed. See https://venmo.com/Bike-Fun or https://www.patreon.com/bikefun for opportunities to donate. Volunteers (ride leaders, maintenance demos) are always welcome!
* CDC guidance on mask use outdoors -especially in mixed vax status groups – suggests much lower transmission rates of COVID occurring outside, with the recommendation that non-fully-vaxxed folks still wear face coverings. Cases are down in Davidson County as of the end of April 2021. If ridership increases for this ride, this policy may be revisited.
Outdoor events are weather pending – for events requiring registration, participants will be notified about cancellations via text or email. For non-registration events, please contact us or keep an eye on our social media platforms for up-to-date information.
