Pace: rolling speeds of 20-22+ mph. This is a drop ride, which means that if you can't keep up with the pace, the rest of the group won't wait for you, HOWEVER, if you don't think you can keep up and want to challenge yourself, just download the route and make sure you can get yourself back safely and come through! Rides like this are really valuable if you're trying to improve your performance and want to push yourself a bit.

We're pedaling to empower women and girls around the world.

The Buffalo Bicycle is not just a bike. It's a life changer. Bicycles may seem like just two wheels and a frame, but in the hands of women and girls, they are a means of personal advancement. 

Women and girls in rural regions of the world play a critical role in helping their communities thrive. Yet they face obstacles to accessing education, paid work, reproductive and maternal healthcare, and safety from gender-based violence. Walking long distances to reach services, attend a job training or go to a class requires daylight, time and safety risks. 

With bicycles, entrepreneurs can launch businesses, girls can commute to school, and women can leave roadside harassers in the dust. 

SRAM embodies the Power of Bicycles every day - just like World Bicycle Relief. 

Come join the global movement to empower women and girls! A huge thank you to SRAM for matching any and all donations to World Bicycle Relief made by SRAM & WBR employees!
