Ride Like a Girl is an initiative to get more women/girls into mountain biking and let them experience the joy it can bring. Everyone is welcome to join us on the FIRST Thursday of the month March through August. We generally meet at Mad Dog Cycles in Orem at 5:30 pm, but see postings for more details.

Shake Off Winter

Is it just me or has winter been harsh this year? I still have snow from December in my yard. This winter season seems to have brought more than its share of snow and cold. I am about done with it. I am looking forward to warmer weather...and riding!
On the way to warm weather riding though, there are still a couple of stops along the way. First, I need to hear from you. Who wants a maintenance "Ride Like a Girl" in March? And if you do, what do you want to cover? How to "Stan's" a wheel? Change a tire? Fix a chain?
And mark your calendars for Thursday, March 24th. That is going to be Mad Doc Cycles "Ladies Night Out". They have some big plans this year. So even if you have been in the past, you will want to come again this year. It should be awesome.
And I am trying to put together a Facebook page--MTB Ride Like a Girl. This will hopefully will make it easier to stay informed.
Almost done with this type of riding

I'm up for a maintenance night! Fix a chain... and maybe, since I don't know what it is, stan's a tire too. :)

Stans-ing a tire means setting it up tubeless with Stans sealant.

YAY! Hopefully I will get released from my relief society calling soon so I can go to the 1st thursday fun!

This sounds like a lot of fun! I just got my first real mountain bike last week and have been trying to find a group to go with. I am pretty out of shape and am brand new to the sport though. Does the group have any specific requirements?

RA: the only requirement is interest. Hope to see you there.
