Violet Crown Women's Coffee Ride

Violet Crown’s Women’s Coffee Ride is built for exactly the rider who’s curious about group cycling but not sure she wants to jump into a fast pack on day one. It starts from Mañana Coffee, keeps the pace conversational, and treats the coffee stop as the actual point rather than an afterthought.

At 12-14 mph over about two hours, there’s room to chat with whoever’s next to you instead of burying yourself trying to hold a wheel. It’s a first Sunday of the month fixture, so it’s easy to build into a routine once you’ve tried it.

Bring a road or hybrid bike and expect a genuinely welcoming crowd — Violet Crown is Austin’s oldest road club, and this ride is where a lot of newer members find their footing before graduating to faster group rides.
