You know how those women on “Sex and the City” are always hanging out together to eat, shop, discuss their lives, and laugh? Where do they get the time? Beats the heck out of us, but this custom tour, booked by a group of women who all wanted a getaway where they could forget - even if it was just for five minutes - about all their responsibilities, might be the answer.

We laughed all day long!

We also waded in the creek, lounged around on picnic blankets for lunch, visited farmer’s market, and braved the abandoned railroad tunnel. Some relaxing yoga and massage closed out the day on just the right note.

One rider put it best: “I felt freedom like I haven’t felt since I was a kid.” It doesn’t get any better than that. Join us!

What a relief the cool temperatures were for our August Wool Tour! The route was beautiful, the food was fantastic, the company excellent. Penns Valley’s restorative countryside boasts tall corn and lush soybeans this time of year, and undulating roads wind through it all. Jere started us off in style at Inn on the Sky, chef Bobbie Dash provided a delicious lunch, Mary Kay welcomed us at Cooke Tavern, Jan at Tamarack Farm was ever gracious, and we were happy to stop and shop with Molly at the quirky Knitter’s Underground. Yoga with Amy left us all relaxed and smiling: a great day! 

Scenic ride 6 was fantastic! We gathered afterward for snacks, some cooling off in the creek, and goodbyes. Thank you all, weekly riders, for constantly reminding us that women of all ages are interesting, inspiring, fun, and beautiful. We’re richer for knowing each other and look forward to riding with you again. 

The wine and cheese was fabu, Brit’s talk about shorts and saddles was great, and the company was fantastic! Learn, relax, and shop at these free events brought to you by See Jane Ride and Freeze Thaw Cycles! Our aim is to inform women on topics from grips to brake adjustments, so stay tuned for the next date and time - we’re planning to make these gatherings a regular thing.
And Chamois Butt’r? Stop in to Freeze Thaw and dare to be bold enough to ask about it! 

This Thursday, August 5 at 7:15 p.m. the Janes are teaming up with Brittany at Freeze Thaw to offer a ladies night. Check out the latest styles in women’s cycling apparel. Discover essential gear and know-how for a more enjoyable ride. Talk openly about sore bum syndrome and how to minimize it. This is your night to discuss women-specific bicycling issues with the experts.

Our July 17 Wool Tour couldn’t have been better! Twelve Janes set out for a relaxing day of new experiences and fun. Riders found their own paces and chose short or long loops en route to Tamarack Sheep Farm, where owner Jan led a tour of her wool, meat, and produce operation. After a satisfying and delicious lunch provided by Chef Bobbie, we tried our hands at wool felting, which proved to be enlightening, relaxing and lots of fun! Back on the bikes, the group chose to stay together for a short ride to Knitters’ Underground, a funky fiber shop with a great selection. On to Cooke Tavern we went, where owners Mary Kay and Greg graciously welcomed us to their beautiful property and Cooke Tavern Soup operation. Yoga on the barn’s second story porch was unforgettable! Check out the whole album of pictures on facebook at See Jane Ride.
We’ll do it all again on August 14; join us!

Meeting with my homey Janes this morning for good food and decision making. Devo had some bagged western timothy hay and enjoyed the hot tub while we talked. Ah, summer mornings.

See Jane Ride is thrilled at the continued attention we’re gathering! Voices of Central Pa has just hit the news stands, and thanks to reporter Emily Dabney, we’re there! See page 8. What the article doesn’t say is that we all live in the building shown in the background. : D
Bloggers have found us, too, today, and we couldn’t be happier. Click here for more: http://villagemarketer.wordpress.com/2010/07/01/see-jane-start-a-business/
