The Princess Promenade was created to get women out of their cars and on to their bikes. It is a fun, inspiring event that gives women and girls a goal to train for, culminating in a parade of princesses along the beautifully scenic American River Parkway bike trail. It is held the first Sunday in October in Sacramento, CA. (See Training for fitness and bike skills classes).

But more than that, the Princess Promenade has inspired thousands of women to take their fitness into their own hands - reducing their risk to the major obesity related diseases of our time; heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Bicycling Magazine has listed the Princess Promenade as one of the Top Women's Rides in the country.
