Venus de Miles
Colorado’s first-ever
women’s-only bike ride, Venus de Miles, is set for Sunday, August 17.
Riders can choose from 35 or 65 miles, with both rides starting and finishing at Prospect Park in Longmont. Across the United States there are only 12 supported, all women’s, non-competitive rides. With Colorado’s abundant pool of passionate recreational female cyclists, founder Teresa Robbins identified the need and opportunity for an all-women’s ride in the Rockies.
Venus de Miles was designed to bring female cyclists of all abilities together to celebrate women and community. Today, women are not only running for president, they are coming together to enjoy sports that may have at one time felt intimidating. Proceeds from the ride benefit the non-profit organization, Greenhouse Scholars.
