HomeWHAT: The VIRTUAL Bike For Women is a way for you to bike whenever and wherever it works for you between April 28 and May 12, 2024. You can choose to do the ride indoors or outdoors.
WHY: This offers us the opportunity for racers who may not be ready to race in person or may not be in town on May 5th to be part of one of Alaska’s favorite women’s biking events. We want to ensure all who want to race can race. It is a great opportunity for friends from near and far to challenge each other individually or just enjoy a ride together.
WHEN: Complete your ride on or between April 28 – May 12
WHERE: You pick your favorite 9-mile course and choose who you want to ride with, if anyone.
CHANGE TO VIRTUAL: If you are signed up for the live event, you can switch to the virtual event until May 6th.
We will allow switching from virtual to live until the event is full or April 10th whichever comes first.

SAFETY RULES/REMINDERS:
- For your safety WEAR your HELMET but DON’T WEAR iPods, MP3 players, air pods, ear buds, or headphones.
- If riding on a road, stay close to the shoulder. Do not ride side by side! If you are riding with family or friends at a recreational pace, ride single file so cars will not be impeded and faster cyclists can safely pass you. Remember to be alert for cars.
- If riding on shared trails, ride at a safe speed.
