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.

Duh!


Update: Let's plan on June 13th.

Sometimes it takes a little bit for things to click in my head. For example, I will know someone's birthday and the day's date, but not necessarily put together that today is the individual's birthday. That is essentially what happened. I knew that the next Ride Like a Girl was scheduled for Thursday (June 6) and that on June 6th I committed to helping my Brother and Sister-In-Law with their little ones. (He had drill for two weeks so she is playing the working single parent, hence they need some assistance.) It just clicked that these two conflict.
So I need feed back...I can do Ride Like a Girl any day this week OR we can push it off a week (i.e. June 13). Any suggestions? What would work best for you?
This month's ride is going to be at Dutch Hollow in Midway. It is tons-o-fun. Due to its location, it takes a little bit longer to get there. So I was thinking we would push back the start time. I was thinking meet at the trailhead by 6 and be riding by 6:15 or so. It would also make sense to do some carpooling as most will be heading up Provo Canyon to get there. See the directions below. Anyone want to meet at the Park-N-Ride by Will's Pit Stop (the one further North)?

Here is how you get there:
From Provo Canyon, drive east to the end of Deer Creek Reservoir. Right where the water ends, turn left (north) on U-113. Zero your odometer. Drive north 3.8 miles into Midway, and turn right (east) as U-113 turns right in the middle of town. 0.4 miles later (mile 4.2), turn left (north) on 400 East (River Road). This is the road that goes just to the west of the memorial hill. At mile 5.4 you'll hit a traffic circle. Take the first exit (not the driveway, though), so you'll turn from north to east. At mile 6.1, a sign points you to Dutchman Hollow - Dutch Canyon. Turn left and drive 0.5 mile on pavement. The pavement ends at a turnaround where the Dutchman Way trail begins, GPS N 40° 32.495' W 111° 27.224'. Turn right downhill at the sign for Wasatch Mountain State Park. The preferred parking area is 0.3 miles down the gravel road to your right. Trailhead info (and bathroom) is at GPS N 40° 32.704' W 111° 27.187'
