Women's Community Training Rides
We understand that women like to ride with women and we are here for it!
Our Women’s Community training rides are a great way help you to build your confidence, meet with like minded riders and keep you motivated over winter. We can guarantee that if you are feeling nervous about joining a group ride you won’t be the only one but those nerves will long be forgotten once you meet up and by the post ride coffee you will be ready to laugh about them.
All the Women’s Community rides are lead by experienced ride leaders and are nobody will be left behind.

Women's Community Webinar | Riding in your first event
Is this your first ever bike riding event?
Watch our 2022 Women’s Community session to get you started and learn how to prepare for United Energy Around the Bay including what to expect on event day.
There is a Q&A session at the end where you might have some of your questions answered, but please feel free to contact Bicycle Network if you need any more help.
What happens on event day?
Our Women’s Community is here to help encourage, inspire and empower more women to unlock the many benefits of bike riding in a welcoming and supporting environment.
You can ride United Energy Around the Bay with the support and encouragement of our Women’s Community ambassadors. They’ll be committed to ride at a steady and comfortable pace throughout the event and will be identified by a women’s community bib on the back of their event jersey.
Meet up before your ride at our designated meeting spot and then swing back to The Clubhouse afterwards to celebrate your amazing day on the bike.
If you’ve joined our training rides you will see some familiar, welcoming faces!
