If you want to see some like-minded, spandex clad young women on road bikes, find some triathlon training club ride or better yet, get into racing. It's still going to be mostly men though.
+1 on the college campus, though you all should see ASU... there seems to be a mixup of cycling attire, most ladies don't wear much on or off the bike starting late Feb
