Well, it seems that when a few women decide to throw an event with about 12 days to plan......it will be a HUGE success!

We had an excellent turnout of about 65 women on a gorgeous day. It was particularly gratifying to see so many former Tripleshot Women's Clinic riders come out and even lead groups.

A million thanks to all the women (SO many TSC members!) who pitched in to organize, provide food and beverage, lead groups and create an event that can only be described as joyful.

Many thanks also to our supporting-locally owned businesses:
Broad St. Cycles (host shop and prizing)
Giant Victoria (prizing)
Velofix (onsite mechanical support)
Vancouver Island Brewing (beer!)
Tod Creek Cidery (cider and free onsite tasting!)
Kid Sister Ice Cream (prizing)
Habit Coffee (pre-ride caffeine)
Saskia Says training (prizing)

Victoria has a wonderful cycling community and we only grow stronger the more often we connect with each other.

Photos to follow....

Jo found time for a quick espresso when a nature break was needed.
