Road Rideshttp://www.smithsbikes.com/road-rides/en-US2008-08-28T02:26:58ZSquarespace Site Server v5.0.0 (http://www.squarespace.com/)Many Thanks!http://www.smithsbikes.com/road-rides/2008/8/23/many-thanks.htmlAdmin2008-08-23T12:57:15ZA HUGE thank you to all the women who have been participating in the group rides this summer! It would not have been close to as much fun if you hadn't showed up! It was so great to meet you and share in your riding experiences! Please continue to come ride for as long as the daylight will allow.

Thank you to Smith's for initiating and hosting the group rides! I think this summer was a real breakthrough with our women's rides and it would not have happened without the support from the Smith's family!

I am leaving Smith's Cycling and Fitness (sadly) to join a different working force out in California. I will miss my family at Smith's and the customers who make the days both fulfilling and entertaining. Thank you to everyone who made the last 2 1/2 years for me in La Crosse both memorable and more fun than I could imagine!

Many happy trails and road rides! I'll see you out there!

]]>Women's Ride and Forum Updatehttp://www.smithsbikes.com/road-rides/2008/7/15/womens-ride-and-forum-update.htmlAdmin2008-07-15T09:54:57Z

There is currently a website, www.beactivebehappy.com , that is used for planning road and mountain bike rides throughout the week. We realize that many women have families at home they need to be with in the evening or the group rides don't fit their schedule but have alternate times they can ride and would like a way to establish contacts with other women to ride. This site is already being used by some of the locals in the area to organize rides, runs and other active events. We (the active women of the coulee region) are going to use this website as well. We encourage you to visit the site and establish yourself as a user. This site is open to anyone interested in "being active". See you soon!
