For the seventh year, the folks behind the monthly Menstrual Monday rides will host the Girls of Summer All-Girl Alleycat Saturday.
The women/trans/femme ride will have all new stops this year and boasts a serious list of prize sponsors. It’s the kind of race that attracts fast riders as well as people just in it for a fun afternoon biking around town. So invite your friends.
Registration starts at 2 p.m. at Dr. Jose Rizal Park. Race starts at 3. $10.
Details from the event page:
The 7th Annual All-Women’s, Trans, Femme Alley Cat is back and better than ever!! Join 100+ of the most badass women on bikes in Seattle on Saturday, June 10th for a day of fun, prizes, and bike racing.
Registration starts at 2, race is at 3pm. $10 gets you in and a drink ticket*. Bring a helmet, pen, map, and lock.

As always, riders of all sizes, stripes, and speeds are welcome. We’ll have a Master’s Category (45+), Single Speed/Fixed, and for the first year, an Out of Towners category (and more creative/silly categories too.)

I’ve been doing this for the last 3 years, and it’s my favorite ride of the year! Big thanks to the group of women who put it on every year – it is a ton of work and they make it look easy.
