Ride Cancellation Policy Safety is our first concern. Rides may be canceled when inclement or unsafe weather conditions are forecast for the location and time period of the ride. We will post cancellations to our Venus Facebook page at least two hours before the start of any scheduled ride. If unsafe conditions develop, a ride might be canceled right up to the time of departure. A ride might also turn back to the shop at any time if unsafe weather conditions develop.   Ride cancellation criteria: Rain, snow, ice that will make roads wet or slippery; National Weather Service Red Flag Warnings; Consistent wind speeds of over 25 mph or gusts of over 50 mph; Temperatures of less than 40 degrees or greater than 100 degrees; Thunderstorms, snow, heavy rain; Dry, high fire danger conditions.

*All routes are subject to modification by ride facilitators for safety reasons, including but not limited to road construction, events (running, cycling, parades, etc.), or an identified safer route alternative. We will try not to significantly impact the route distance.

Outdoor Divas Cycling invites you to join us for an important and valuable women’s event. Join us to listen to the experts speak about cycling safety and take advantage of the opportunity to get your questions answered. Leave empowered to ride safer using the knowledge and tools that are available.

Guest speakers include Megan Hottman, The Cyclist Lawyer; Ernest Ezis, creator of the Close Call Database; and Lance Enholm, Commander with the Boulder County Sheriff's Office. The event is hosted at Decadent Saint in North Boulder. We hope you will be able to attend. Bring your girlfriends too. Let’s join to together to get smarter and be safer!

Megan Hottman is The Cyclist Lawyer. Megan has represented over 100 cyclists in their individual cases, as well as provided counsel to other plaintiff's lawyers, cycling groups, bike shops, and organizations. She is known by Colorado cyclists as well as her fellow attorneys as THE go-to lawyer for anything cycling-related. She provides frequent legal education seminars on biking laws, trends she sees in her cases and those nationwide, and education to both novice and veteran riders alike. She also provides educational and training opportunities to law enforcement officers.

Ernest Ezis is the creator of the Close Call Database and an avid cyclist. Cyclists use the website to identify and track aggressive motorists. Hostile drivers are often serial offenders. Cataloging their aggression and documenting their hostility helps to build a case against those drivers. Serial offenders can be brought to the attention of your local police who may encourage them to change their behavior before a tragedy occurs. Once a report is filed, the Close Call Database alerts every member within a 60-mile radius.

Lance Enholm is a Commander with the Boulder County Sheriff's Office, an advocate for road safety, and a cyclist.
