Goldilocks Ride

A few weeks ago I got to help out at the Goldilocks all women's bike ride, here in Utah. It was great! There were about 1200 women all riding between 20-100 miles. Some were new riders, some were experienced but everyone had a great time!

There was great food,snacks, a warm and sunny day, and just a fun atmosphere at every stop! I talked to one lady that was riding with her 12 year old daughter. They have never been on an organized ride before. They were following the wrong map and ended up riding closer to 40 miles then their original goal of 20. They were not disappointed in the mistake, they were ecstatic that they had ridden so far. They were so proud of themselves and all they had accomplished, they were so excited to go home and tell the rest of the family how well they had done. We cried tears of joy together when they came to the finish line.

If you would like more information for future rides, or other locations visit goldilocksride.com.

It is good to see so many ladies having fun and improving their fitness.
