I concur with what the others have said about ABATE. I took my class at ACC a few years ago and it was great. I am a student at ACC currently, and they just repaved the west parking lot where I took the class, so they have that going for them too.

My advice would be sooner rather than later. I have vivid memories of wearing a long-sleeved tee and sweatshirt in 95 degree heat sitting on a running bike above the hot asphalt for a couple hours. Not fun, but it is bearable. So try have your friend bring a very breathable jacket if she does it when the forecast is hot.
