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.

Just the Two of Us


Thursdays ride was intimate. It was Jolene and myself. While I would have enjoyed having more show up, it was nice getting to ride and talk with Jolene. I kept chuckling at us as a pair of riders. Jolene is just rebounding from a procedure/surgery on her leg and well I am just getting more and more rotund.

Dutch Hollow was delightful too. When we pulled up it was sunny. Then a big cloud moved in and kept thing nice and cool for our ride. The trails were more dusty than one would expect this time of year but they were not bad at all. It was breezy, ok it was windy, in some sections yet others were protected by trees and hills.
We rode up Sage to Burnt Ridge (it was a climb), then over to Enchanted Forest. We of course then hit Aqueduct and Barrel--why would anyone not ride Barrel? It is the biggest reason to go to Dutch Hollow. Then we switched directions and took Dutchman's Way back over and did Aqueduct and Barrel again.
