A little bit more info on BAD and what they’re up to…
BAD hosts First Friday – the LARGEST monthly women’s party in the US with more than 1500 women every month. BAD is excited to have a team in the fabulous All Women’s Bike Ride – the Venus de Miles on Sunday August 30th 2009. It’s a RIDE not a race and you can join if you can ride a bike. The ride will be in Longmont and there will be a fabulous festival following the ride. BAD will have their own jerseys and all the proceeds will benefit Greenhouse Scholars. For the next several weeks, they will be hosting social gatherings to “pump up the volume” on the ride. Please check them out. The web site for the ride is www.venusdemiles.com.
