 Athens Bicycle co-owner Meredith Erlewine, an experienced mountain

(Hey guys, we know you’d love to ride with Sue all weekend too,
but this is a women’s-only tour. If you’d like to travel
to Slatyfork with a spouse or friend who is attending the women’s
clinic, we can point you onto some great trails. Please pass this information
along to your female riding buddies.)
Hope to see you there!
