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.

A NEW YEAR OF GIRL ON GIRL ACTION

Yes, it's been about a year since the conception of GoGA, and in the beginnings of this second year, we are doing some re-vamping of the GoGA structure.

This year we will see:

The departure of Signe, beginning a new job in the Bay Area up north (an SF chapter of GoGA?)
The return of Katie and Mia (I'm calling you out!)
Hopefully, the return of Dana (Currently still in Europe? We miss you!)

While these girls have been the backbone to GoGA in the past year, there's been plenty of new and returning faces. Our charge to you is to keep coming and be vocal - where do you want to go? What do you want to see? And really, how fast can we get there??

Given the ever fluid attendance of GoGA, we've decide to make GoGA a bi-weekly event.

Starting June 3rd, GoGA will commence every other week. I agree that this will take some getting used to, so I will remind everyone via posting on this blog and midnightridazz.com for the next month or so. ALSO, we will stick true to alternating the weeks between a SHORTER ride and a LONGER ride. Again, I will be sending out reminders via blog and other places.

Also in the new year, I'd like to invite Westside GoGA girls to step up, if there's interest, to begin a Westside GoGA ride during the alternating weeks of the Eastside GoGA ride. Thus, beginning June 10th, I'd like to see if we can't get a bi-weekly Westside GoGA ride started. Please contact me if you are interested in being the coordinator. It's mega-easy and I will give you a lot of support, including showing up...
