This is a list of some of the upcoming women-only events.
Goldilocks Ride
There are three Goldilocks Rides around the west: Herriman,Utah, Las Vegas and Idaho.
The founder of the Goldilocks Ride is Dani Lassiter who was inspired by the Little Red Riding Hood Ride. She wanted to create an event that women would feel comfortable for their first ride.
“Little Red inspired me to create a ride that could be everyone’s first… their first cycling event, the first time they rode 30, 60, or 100 miles. Somewhere you could feel comfortable showing up on a crusier, your husband’s mountain bike, or your old road bike from college. Everyone should have a place to start, to make friends, and get advice about the sport. A place where you can learn shifting, drafting, hand signals, etc. I was lucky to have my husband to teach me. If a woman has a place where she can feel comfortable, she will quickly learn what I have learned, that those ugly shorts that only look good on models, really do help! Clip in shoes, gloves, jerseys… the people who designed all this equipment really knew what they were doing.
“In less than a year, I went from 3 miles in yoga pants on my Electra cruiser to clipping in on a road bike for a 40 mile ride around the valley. I recently completed my first century this summer and can’t wait to try it again. The longest distance on a Goldilocks Ride may not be 100 miles (yet), but I promise you will feel like you accomplished something amazing. Goldilocks is an experience every woman should have. Delicious food, darling t-shirts, beautiful routes, a fun party, and tons of support and friendship. I hope to see you at the ride!”
Little Red Riding Hood Ride
One of the best cycling “Girls’ Weekend” activities you will find in the country is in Logan, Utah, which is about 80 miles north of Salt Lake City. The event is the Little Red Riding Hood Ride and it is the largest and longest all-women’s bike ride in the country.
The annual Little Red Riding Hood bicycle ride is in its 24th year, and women of all ages participate. Most riders are adults, but some children ride with their moms while other riders are senior citizens. Some have high-tech bikes and others dust off their old three-speed bikes. Little Red Riding Hood’s goal is to celebrate life, raise cancer awareness for women, and contribute to cancer research.
Routes will range from 15 miles to more than 100 miles.
The popular Little Red Riding Hood event is sponsored by Utah’s Bonneville Cycling Club, and it draws riders not only from Cache Valley and the Wasatch Front but also from 46 states, Canada and Australia.
The Little Red ride is unique because a portion of the registration fee is donated, which makes the ride both charitable and affordable for all.
It’s also unique because only women can ride. Men participate by staffing the rest stops where the women fuel up on snacks and use the portable toilets.
To everyone’s delight, there’s a costumed Big Bad Wolf who loves to pose for photos with riders. This year’s theme is the 50s, so the wolf and some riders with wear 1950’s clothing. For the first time this year riders will be treated to a 1950’s style Ice Cream Parlor at the finish line.
LRRH is in its 24th year. The ride’s founder, Alice Telford, was inspired by the Cinderella Classic Ride in Alameda County, CA. When she started Little Red there were just 25 women for that first ride. With the support of the Bonneville Cycling Club, it has grown steadily since then. The route of the ride winds through the beautiful countryside of northern Utah, in an area called Cache Valley. It offers a flat course for the shorter rides and a few gently rolling hills on the longer routes. In years past, it started in Wellsville, Utah but this year the ride has been moved to Lewiston, a town 19 miles north of Logan.
Bonnneville Cycling Club provides opportunities for every cyclist’s interest from recreation, fitness, touring, commuting, to just plain fun. We also focus on bicycle advocacy, safety and a member’s first philosophy. Membership is open to anyone who is willing to support the objectives stated.
