admin — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 18:07:07 +0000

Our fearless Chicks in the Sticks founder and leader, Liz Sage, has been out of commission mending her broken thumb for the past 6 weeks and she’s getting a little fidgety. Here’s what she has to say…

“Sat on a cruiser yesterday! Sweet right hand breaking system. Could be a good transition to my mtn. bike… Wadya think Chicks? Any takers? Pull out your cruiser, commuter or mountain bike and join me for a ‘get back on the saddle ride’… ”

Sounds like yet another Chicks ride is born… Chicks Cruiser Crusade… and you are invited! Chicks will meet at Union Cycle, 5:45PM on Thursday August 26th for a 6PM departure. If you are interested in joining Liz for this fun, gal pal, ride downtown, RSVP to secure your spot. If you don’t have a cruiser we, Union Cycle, can hook you up with any one of our sweet cruisers or city bikes… no problem! Oh… rumor has it that they may even stop for ice-cream! See you there!
