GoGA Mission

We strive to create a positive, dynamic, supportive, all-female environment where women are challenged to ride harder and farther. We emphasize a holistic approach towards riding: we want to facilitate your progression towards becoming a confident rider in terms of route, repair, and safety knowledge.


The specifications:

- Ride 20 to 30 miles in 2007, 25 to 35 miles in 2008

- Quick pace (we don't want to be out all night)

- You will feel most comfortable riding a road bike

- Although we always look out for each other, you are responsible for knowing your own limitations. If you are not comfortable with long distance, the mechanics of your bike, or the pace is too quick, speak up!!! We will try to accommodate you if you are willing to push yourself.

I'm sympathic for the westsiders, I would be down to meet anywhere that would be convenient for the people that have to ride the farthest. :)

signe, are you thinking of reserved|revealed (the one through la canada)?

meeting point off a gold line station is best for me. omg, i might actually make it out for once.

signe said...

no, the one i was thinking was nov 05, real deals and wannabes. alex graciously posted the route for me (it was fuxored when i looked it up).

we could meet in front of union and maybe ladies rolling in from the west could meet up for the trip (satellite ride)?

i will ride from the west if i can find a crew. i'm the the fairfax area, but happy to meet at scoops or in hollywood/silverlake/los feliz. who is in?

signe said...

why don't we meet at scoops at 8.30, roll at 8.45 (seriously), swing by union a little after 9 and roll on from there? does that work?

Tattiya said...

YES! Katie, meet at your house at 8:00ish to roll out to scoops? Hey Signe, what do you think the predicted mileage will be once leaving Union?

Hi ladies!

Um, can anyone help me out here? I am pretty new to the biking thing. I have a mountain bike and have done some crazy trail riding mostly in the la canada area. But I don't know any ladies who bike and I'm looking to get involved and I don't know what's out there. Are the rides you do for gals with speedy road bikes only or do you have mtn. bikers too? I'm nervous about riding on roads! Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

My legs are so sore I'm hobbling around (hiked Mt. Baldy on Sunday) and am seriously sleep-deprived (school started yesterday), so I don't think I'm going to join you all tonight. Have fun; maybe next week. Emily, this group does road rides, but I (and probably others) might be interested in doing some mtn biking, though not necessarily for the Tue. night GOGA rides.

Charmaine - organicexpress.com and lovedelivery.com. don't really know much about either.
Girls - fun ride tonight.

GOGA goes BOBA!
