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.

Wahoo! First Ride Like a Girl

Finally.
Even though this winter was great for riding, I am so excited to have the first Ride Like a Girl. It is scheduled for April 5th. We will meet at Mad Dog Cycles in Orem at 5:30 pm. Then we will carpool out to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail in Orem. I am still trying to decide which trail head--probably here but maybe here (Dry Canyon). We are going to hit some of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail (BST) and trails that spur off of BST.
Good stuff.
Be sure your bike is ready. Don't forget your helmet...it is a MUST. See you there.

Oh and did you see this cool interview on MTB Race News?

Ladies Night Out Re-Cap

I thought last Thursday's Ladies Night Out at Mad Dog Cycles was great. The snacks/treats were delightful--a couple of salads to choose from, veggie trays, and cookies. A nice mix to munch on while mingling.
It started with different stations like:
  • Bike fit
  • Prepping your bike for a ride
  • Setting up tubeless
  • Nutrition
  • Utah High School MTB teams
Then it was a short fashion show showing off some of the new clothing from Pearl Izumi, Capo, Craft, etc. Lots of cute stuff this season.

And last, but definitely not least, was the raffle. Give aways included helmets, t-shirts, socks, floor pumps (so jealous!), yoga classes from 3B Yoga, bike fits.... Everyone walked away with something.

Great night. Thanks, Mad Dog staff and management.
