The Skirt Rides BikeClique was created in February 2009 and currently has 90 Members.
Skirt Rides are for any female cyclist who is interested in either racing or becoming a stronger rider. The focus is to develop overall fitness, bike handling, pack riding, race tactics and as well as training and riding skills to improve your confidence on your bike and to become a better overall cyclist; in a supportive environment and in the company of other women.

The rides leave every Monday night (April - September) at 6pm from Cycler's Cafe (2295 Lexington Road).

  • Skirt Rides Ladies, no "official" Skirt Ride tonight ... (holiday and all). If there's a group that wants to ride - have at it! There is an alternative ride tonight for those of you getting fired up & ready for CX - Niki posted up a ladies CX ride at RRCC tonight @ 5:30. There will also be a BC/TL CX clinic tomorrow (open to all) - subscribe to OVCX clique for further info on that one - locations may change each week & you don't want to miss the details!

    • Jennifer CvarHey Ladies,
      (I am a new female promoter in Indianapolis....just wanting to spread the word about a new race I am putting on this weekend......see message below.)

      This Saturday (August 21) marks the inaugural running of the Indy Criterium Cycling Race and we hope you can be part of the day's events! Staged in the heart of Downtown Indianapolis, the Indy Criterium is a classic criterium course that features some of the most highly recognized landmarks of our city. Rarely is there an opportunity like this to race on the city streets of downtown Indianapolis!

      The Indy Crit will feature a completely closed 0.7 mile course, varying in width from four to six lanes, almost half of which is newly paved! The course will lead you onto the bricks of Market Street with a quarter loop around Monument Circle, the very soul of our city. This event is held under USA Cycling permit.

      And best of all, 100% of the event proceeds will go to benefit Freewheelin' Community Bikes!

      So check out our website or better yet, pre-register now on Truesport.com.

    • Sherri ThompsonDarn, I don't think I got this. Hope you had a great turnout.
      6:48 PM August 22
    • Suzanne WebsterSherri - because you're a member of this group, you should be able to get everything that's posted in here sent to your email ... you might want to double check & make sure you're subscribed (cause you can pick & choose what sorts of notifications you get). If you click on the "Subscribe" button at the top of this page, there will be a drop down list from which you can choose which notification you'd like to get as an email. You can do that for all your cliques on BikeClicks. I think Jennifer posted this race in several cliques - sorry you missed it. :-(

I will continue to post these rides until we run out of safe daylight & hope to see y'all soon! I miss the Skirts. Keep riding, keep meeting - stay safe and have fun.

      6:26 PM July 05

    • Happy 4th everyone! Skirts are rolling tomorrow - anticipating a small group due to the holiday ... super casual ride - I won't corral y'all into two straight lines - actually, I probably will, but won't suggest working on rotating pacelines. Bring that friend along that's been thinking of coming, but has been worried about this that or the other thing. Joe seems to be staying open these days, bring along some $ just in case he's open again & some of you want to stay. -- We can drink a toast to Niki and send good vibes for a speedy recovery.

    • Sherri ThompsonI'm hoping to be there, just need to see how the legs feel. I've pushed them hard yesterday and today

    • Barbara SaiveThanks Suzanne. I have her in my thoughts and prayers.
      9:48 PM July 01
    • Suzanne WebsterJust got back from visiting Niki ... she is one tough chick! (Like y'all don't already know that!) She can't remember anything - which is probably a good thing - one minute she left work & the next thing she remembers was tubes being put in her nose (post-surgery). She'll be there for about 4-5 days. Will continue to keep y'all posted. She's tired & beaten up, but she is HERE! I gave her a big hello from the Skirts - she's already thinking about CX training rides for all of us and planning on watching the TdF from the trainer with a pillow strapped to her tummy. Like I said, one tough chick.
