We have officially made our rides not coed unless specifically stated. We know many people have lovely partners and friends that would be perfectly friendly and supportive people to ride with, but we don't want to assume everyone who shows up on our rides, or are leading our rides, are comfortable with a coed group ride. Our first priority is to make a special space for WTFNB (women, trans femme, and non-binary) riders in our community, and we feel this is the easiest way to consistently achieve that. Thanks for your understanding.
Collab rides with the Queer+ Bikes group, who are open to cis, trans men, are our most common coed rides.
Wyoming Adventure Weekend: Follies x Rebe Explores
RebeExplores x Fort Follies Camping & Adventure Ride - Sponsored by TrainingPeaks!
GRITS
Our new gravel interval(ish) ride twice a month! The GrITS (Gravel Interval Training Series) ride will have four gravel sections on the route and we’ll ride those as a hard effort and spin easy for some active recovery on the pavement in between.
Cocktails for a Cause
Every month Ace Gillett’s will feature a local non-profit. On the first Thursday of each month, we will kick-off the cause of the month by donating 10% of our profits directly to the featured non-profit. Ace Gillett’s will also have a signature cocktail of the month curated by our bartenders in partnership with the non-profit. For every signature cocktail purchased throughout the month, Ace Gillett’s will donate $2.00 to the featured non-profit.
