FHMBC Women of Farmall Ride

NEW this year! 

RVE Bike and Skate would like to invite women/girls to ride on Tuesday nights in April at the Farmall Hill Mountain Bike Challenge course.

This free series is not a race. Our goal is to create a welcoming and non-intimidating environment for all girls/women who want to challenge their mountain bike skills and have fun riding.

Event Dates: April 2, April 9, April 16, April 23

Time:  Please arrive by 5:45pm for check-in. Rides depart at 6pm.

These are no-drop group rides. Lets face any challenges and develop confidence together. Depending on turnout we can break up into multiple groups based on skill, friends, bike color, or dance moves.

Be aware, this course has many steep hills and may challenge your fitness. Mountain bikes with good climbing gears and strong brakes are best for this course. Helmets are a must at all times.

We are open to women that have a mountain bike and already know how to use their brakes, shift gears, and are able to stand while pedaling.   

Parking location: is an adjacent field next to 180 Bluhm Rd, Fairport, NY 14450. This is a residential area. Please drive slow and be respectful of the neighbors. Please DO NOT park on any of the surrounding roads.
