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.

Dutch Hollow for June?

I was thinking of Dutch Hollow for next week's Ride Like a Girl. More info can be found here. While we are going to meet at Mad Dog Cycles in Orem at 5:30 pm, I included directions below so that you can be prepared for the commute.



This area was a lot of fun last year. I am excited to go back.

And don't forget you can get updates on Facebook


How to 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'

Lambert Park it is!

We are going to hit Lambert Park on Thursday. It should be great. We will meet at Mad Dog Cycles at 5:30 pm and then head towards the trail around 5:40. We will regroup at the Bowery Parking lot, probably around 6:15 or so.
If you live North of the Shop and want to simply meet at the trailhead that is doable. But I need an RSVP of sort so that I can bring enough waivers. Don't forget that a helmet (and bike of course) are mandatory.
See you on Thursday!
