PEDAL WENCHES
est. 2012
WHO WE ARE
The Pedal Wenches are Saskatoon's first and only women's-only club with a focus on fun and fitness. We welcome riders with all levels of road cycling experience. There will be minimal instruction and all riders are expected to be self-sufficient. Our 'no-drop' philosophy makes it a fun and safe way to get out on the road with other women each week.
MEMBERSHIP
There is a $50 club fee to join club rides - this does not include a jersey. Pedal Wenches jerseys (new or old) are needed to ride but are purchased separately. All riders must have a valid SCA membership and must present their card before each ride. See link at the bottom of the page to register with SCA.
HOW WE RIDE
We ride out from the alley entrance of the Bike Doctor (623 Main Street) every Tuesday evening, departing at 6:00 PM sharp. Whether you're a speedy rider or a social rider, we try our best to ensure all Pedal Wenches have a place in the crew!
THE RIDE
Rides are 60-100 minutes long (weather and daylight dependent). Every ride has a Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels. Beginner groups will be coached and are a great fit for novice cyclists and those who are new to group riding. Intermediate and advanced will be peer-lead.
THE ROUTE
The length of the ride will be decided prior to departure. Please arrive 15-20 minutes early to ensure your bike is riding-ready and you have chosen a suitable group to ride with. All rides start and end at Bike Doctor and riders continue to D'Lish cafe for post-ride drinks and snacks.
We have a no-drop philosophy - this means no woman left behind, regardless of the cause! We want every rider to feel safe and supported on their ride.
