Every year since 2016 women of various road biking abilities have attended our cycling camp and the feedback is unanimous: “I wish I had attended this sooner.” Recreational cyclists come to camp with a wide assortment of experience and backgrounds. Most have never had a cycling coach or attended a training camp. Some attend spin classes, some may participate in club rides, while others commute to work or bike solo.

Last year two campers had less than one year of cycling experience, a few had been biking for many years, and most were somewhere in between. In spite of the many differences, there was one thing these women had in common: They loved bike camp!

We hope you will consider joining us this June 11-14, 2020, in the riverside town of Hood River, Oregon, and in the heart of the captivatingly beautiful Columbia River Gorge.

Bike Camp: What Does it Look Like?

Every year since 2016 we invite women of various road biking abilities to come together for a multi-day, biking training camp experience; put their life on pause, take a few days to focus on themselves and their bike, and learn in a friendly, supportive, professional environment where all you have to do is eat, learn, bike, sleep

Cycle Oregon Riders, You’ve Got Friends

The unexpected. It shows up, uninvited, unprepared and unscheduled. As I write, ten named forest fires are wreaking havoc throughout our beloved state parks and national forests throughout the state of Oregon. Washington and Idaho are also engulfed; and newscasters dispense air quality alerts as regularly as mealtimes.

2015 Our Blog in Review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this Ride Like A Girl Cycling blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 14,000 times in 2015. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 5 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Reach The Beach!

… Months of training …

    … Riding through the winter …

        … Overcoming anxieties – hills, spandex & clipless pedals …

            … Sticking with it when you feel like dropping out …

                … Mourning the loss of a mother …

                    …Surviving lung disease and learning to ride again …

These are just a few of the obstacles, barriers and personal challenges our Ride Like A Girl team has overcome in preparation to participate in the 2014 Reach the Beach event. Now, just a few days away, the exciting ride lies ahead. No doubt there are still a few butterflies, probably mixed with excitement and thoughts of  “I just want to get to the beach!”
