Who We Are

Do you want to be inspired and motivated to ride? Want to meet new women cyclists or be exposed to new routes? Do you want to wear the cutest performance kits around? Simply love cycling? If you answered yes to any or all of these, THAT’s why you should join. We’re blessed with a group of terrific people, fantastic sponsors, incredible perks, effective coaching, and the best looking kit around.

Nope. While some of us love to race and we have some training options for those interested in competition, most of our teammates are just into riding for the love of riding. While you don’t have to be a hard-core cyclist, you should have a solid base of cycling fitness and a few years of riding experience before you join. We offer a variety of ride levels so you can pick and choose what sounds good to you.

All the above! We ride road, mountain bike, gravel, and CX bikes. Each has its own ride schedule, events, and leaders. Many of us have a number of different types of bikes. There’s no extra fee or separate club for different bike types, it’s all one team. Hey, ho, let’s go.

Ebike riders should try to blend in with the speed, skill level, acceleration, and deceleration of the group as if they are riding a traditional bicycle.

Do not use pedal assist to compensate for lack of fitness or bike handling ability. Be predictable with acceleration and deceleration for group safety.

It is solely the ebike rider’s responsibility to determine that ebikes are allowed on 100% of the posted route and if the ebike’s battery can last for the entire ride.

Here is our full eBike Policy.

Nope. No one understands better than us how busy women are without having mandatory attendance, volunteering minimums, etc. So, come as often as you’d like… but we will tell you the more you show up, the more you’ll be glad you did. Memories and connections aren’t made from the couch.

Our rides do originate mostly from Boulder County, but we shake things up quite a bit. Golden, Fruita, Grand/Summit/Clear Creek Counties are favorite destinations. If any member wants to suggest or lead a ride from anywhere on the map, we’re open to a day or weekend trip.C

We accept new members annually until August. To get things kicked off properly we have a big membership push in January. At that time we order kits that are delivered in early Spring. For those who join later, kits will ship on a monthly basis. There’s no price break to join later in the year, so join early for maximum benefits.

Operational costs (i.e. business licenses, technology, and consultant fees), paying pro coaches for clinics, party food, event venues, etc. We spend smartly and invest in our member’s experience. Have more questions? Email us at friend@petuniamafia.com.
