Hop on a bike and pedal down to Owen <br />Memorial Rose Garden (300 N. Jefferson St., Eugene) or Willamalane Swim Center (1276 G St., Springfield) <br />to join more than 200 people on a casual bike ride around Eugene and Springfield to celebrate women on <br />wheels. <br />CycloFemme is an annual international Mother’s Day ride that unites riders, regardless of gender, <br />age, ethnicity, or bicycle preference to share in the joy of riding bikes. Ride with us as we honor the past, <br />celebrate the present, and empower the future of women in cycling. <br />Because the Eugene ride was such a huge success last year, there will be two rides this year – one in <br />Eugene and one in Springfield! Join whichever ride you would like because they will both come together for <br />a celebration at the end in Island Park. <br />Eugene and Springfield’s versions of this international ride will have a “pretty skirts” theme (to be <br />interpreted by you), flowers, and temporary tattoos. Each of the rides will take a leisurely pace riding with <br />music to the celebration. Meet at 1:30 p.m. at the Eugene or Springfield ride location and be ready to join in <br />the ride that will depart at 2 p.m. sharp. <br />If you have general questions about the ride or would like to help promote it, please contact Emma <br />Newman at emma.newman@springfield.k12.or.us or 541-726-3483. <br />Visit the Eugene-Springfield CycloFemme 2014 Facebook event at bit.ly/EugSpfldCycloFemme for <br />more information or visit http://cyclofemme.com/ for information about the worldwide celebration. <br /># # # <br /> <br /> <br />Public Works Administration ● City of Eugene ● 101 E.
