Over 1,400 Women Gather in Rockford, Illinois, Setting World Record for Largest All-Women Ride

While they advertise it as women-only, I'm curious what the entry fee and actual operations looked like.

A group ride of 1,400 bikes must be a huge management challenge just from traffic and keeping the formation from falling apart.

I feel like Rockford's held a similar event before — is it growing bigger every year?

Raising $11,400 in donations is a quietly nice story too — I like that they tied it to breast cancer support.

Over 1,400 people, smashing the previous record of 1,002 — that's an incredible amount of energy.
