I believe the answer is:

This clue is a double definition.
'sally' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'first american woman in space' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for ride that I've seen before include "badger" , "Travel by horse, bus, etc" , "Travel, by horse say" , "Go by horse" , "A dire sort of journey" .)
