Select Board approves women-only cycling ride for June 20 with insurance requirement
Summary
Organizers of a women-focused 50/100-mile bike ride told the Weybridge Select Board about route, aid stations and safety measures; the board approved the event for June 20 pending a certificate of liability insurance and encouraged use of signage and local publicity.
Organizers of a women-specific cycling event presented the board with route, safety and participant details and said the ride is not a race but a supported community ride. Liz Bolt described support measures including aid stations, cutoff times and a downloadable route for riders and emphasized that participants "follow the rules of the road."
Select Board members asked about signage, insurance and notifications to drivers; Chair Megan Sutton said the town could post a notice and the board asked that organizers provide a certificate of liability. The board moved to accept the proposal and voted in favor. Bolt said the ride had run successfully in October with roughly 45 participants and organizers are hoping for a larger turnout this year.
The board asked the organizers to share sample language for public notices so the town can post on Front Porch Forum and local papers; the motion to approve the event was contingent on submission of insurance documentation and standard event coordination with the highway crew for any necessary signage.
