We are going to have a supplemental Ride Like a Girl. This is going to be a contingency of women that tags along with the regularly scheduled Mad Dog Group Ride. It is going to be less formal--more like a standard group ride. It will be less instructive and a quicker, more consistent pace.
We are meeting at Mad Dog Cycles in Orem at 5:30 pm. We are going to be riding Whiting Trail in Mapleton. It should be fun.

No Show
So on Thursday I woke up to snow. Driving into Provo for work, it was apparent that they did not get as much snow as we did a little further South. I watched the weather throughout the day and it never really got sunny. But I figured since it was not actually snowing or raining, that I could not rightfully cancel. Although, I was not so excited to ride.
On the way to the shop, I thought it was cold, but maybe it will not be so bad.
I arrived to at the shop around 5:25. No one was there yet. So I waited and waited and then waited a little longer. I stayed until 5:45 and then I assumed that everyone decided that it was a bit too cold. I was relieved.
Better luck next time.

2010 Outlook
So at Trek's Ladies Night I had an opportunity to plug "Ride Like a Girl" and talk a bit about the plans for the summer. Here is the scoop for those who missed it.
First, Ride Like a Girl will be run like years past. We will meet on the first Thursday at 5:30 pm at Mad Dog Cycles in Orem. This is a little bit earlier, but it will give us more time to ride. We will go over the basics and build on them throughout the summer.
While the first Thursday is for "Girls Only", Mad Dog Race Team will be hosting guided rides on the other Thursdays of the month for all--boys and girls. You of course are invited to join those also.
Coinciding with that on the third Thursday of the month, I am inviting the more advanced riders from Ride Like a Girl to join me for a girls contingency. Essentially, we will join the guys or do our own thing. This will be more of a woman's group ride with a more consistent pace.
So that is the plan and I hope you will join me. And for April 1st, I have not decided where we will ride. Maybe around the mouth of the canyon or Bonneville Shoreline in Orem. Both are pretty dry so far.

March 18th Update
So we are on for March 18th at Mad Dog Cycles in Orem. It will be from 6-7 pm. Bring your multi-tool. If you do not have one I would seriously consider looking at what the shop as to offer. Having a bike tool and knowing how to use it is essential. I am a big fan of the Crank Bros. But Parks Tools and others are good also.

It's Back
I am bringing this site out of hibernation. It was a long rough winter and I am excited to be riding. Yes, Ride Like a Girl is going to happen again this year. It is still on the first Thursday, but I bumped up the time a bit. I figure if we meet at 5:30 we should be leaving by the shop by 6 pm. This will give us more time to really ride. If you have a tough time getting to Mad Dog by this time just leave a comment and I will work with you. I don't want this change to exclude anyone!
The first meeting though is going to be a prep. On March 18th (not the first Thursday, obviously), I am going to do a recap of simple bike maintenance. This is going to be minor things that may happen while out on the trail. Just simple things like fixing a flat, a broken chain, adjusting brakes, etc. I need to check with the shop on time. I will update shortly.
This will be a great time to get your bike out and give it a once over.

Check this out.
We (The Weekly Race Series) will be holding a Cyclocross style race this Thursday, October 29th on the Euclid property in Heber starting at 5:30 p.m. This is a just for fun race for training. We will have 3 categories to choose from: Category 1 - 5 laps, Category 2 - 4 laps, Category 3 - 3 laps, each category should take approx: 40 min. and will start 1 minute behind the previous category. There will be a $1 entry fee with the entire take being raffled off to 3 lucky people after the race. Bring your single speeds, mountain bikes, and cyclocross bikes and join in the fun. If you have any questions send us an email through the help tab above. For an interactive view of the course click here.
It should be a lot of fun. Cyclocross is a mix of mountain biking and road riding on a short track length course. Just bring your mountain bike and do some circles. It is very spectator friendly so bring the family.
