Who likes Lambert Park? I know I do. If you have never been, it is fairly flat (for Utah). Nice windy, and flowy trails. But for those who like it, there are some techy little sections. It is a really nice mix. Beginner friendly, but definitely has some "toys" for those with more skill.
So lets meet at the Bowery (see directions below) at 5:30 on May 2, throw our stuff together and try to be riding by 5:45 or so. If you need more time, let me know. RSVP in the comments so I know who to expect.
Here is how you get there:
Take
I-15 to the Alpine/Highland exit, just south of
Point-of-the-Mountain. Drive straight east 5 miles towards the
mountains, turning left at the stoplight in Highland (where you see
the grocery store and gas station). Drive 2 miles north into Alpine to
the 4-way stop at 200 North. Turn right. At the next stop sign, turn
left. You'll be on 200 East, which becomes Grove Drive. Continue
northeast on Grove for two miles. The road will turn 90 degrees to the
right. Pass two streets on your left, then arrive at a T in the road.
Turn right, across the river. At the fork in the road, go right for
the Bowery parking area. Pass the High Bench dirt road on your right.
About 300 feet further up the paved road, keep straight as the main
road turns right, entering a smaller road. The Bowery pavilion is on
the left, 500 feet up the dirt road, with a parking lot on the right.
(Toilet, pavilion, water.)
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.

It has begun
Last night was the first Ride Like a Girl for 2013. I thought it was delightful. Our numbers were small--thanks Shari and Jen for joining me--but we could not have asked for better weather or trails. Jen set a nice, steady pace on the climbs, while Shari lived it up on the descents. I need to be better about getting photos. But this confirms it, riding season has officially begun and it is off to a great start.
Next up...Lambert Park??? Who is with me?
