On Sunday October 19, 2008 the Vixens took to the streets for a group ride and enjoyed the chance to relax together.  It was also a chance for injured members and new members to come out and enjoy some comeraderie and a learn some new skills from each other.  On the go lessons in gearing for newbies, and assistance on climbing for the injured are all just part of the package when Vixens get together for a fun ride!

We do enjoy taking advantage of our Bike Friendly City streets in Chattanooga!

Mark your calender for Saturday, September 22, 2007 to test your fitness at our quarterly Time Trial.  Plan to arrive at 9:30 at Old Bethel Church in Chickamauga, Georgia. The church is located at 1250 Old Bethel Road.  This will allow you time to warm up before testing yourself by completing 2 laps of our 4.06 mile loop. 

The heat won’t keep the Vixens from representing at any ride anywhere! Congratulations to the five VeloVixens who conquered the Chatooga metric century leaving everyone wondering as usual, “who are those girls”. Today the girls were Dreama Campbell, Cat Thornton, Karen Rogers, Carol Farmer and Monica Bradley. Even Dreama’s husband, Trey, was sporting the stylish Vixen kit!

Conversation of the day…Monica says, “Cat, why did we just pass all those boys - we should let them pull US”; Cat responds, “We might let them if they knew how to ride in a paceline!”. And, there they were taking turns in 100 degree weather with a line of many, many boys on their wheels. Another great day on the road, Vixens!

On March 31st, we went south of the border to participate in the Raisin Hope Charity Ride in Dalton, GA. Organized by local pro cyclist Saul Raisin (team Cr�dit Agricole), the ride benefited the Shepherd Center, a spinal cord injury rehab hospital down in Atlanta that was crucial in Saul’s recover from a serious bike crash overseas last April. Over 550 riders were there to enjoy gorgeous spring weather on course lengths ranging from 15 to 50 miles (the latter which included a climb up Fort Mountain).
