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.

September???

Who wants a Ride Like a Girl in September? Trail suggestions? Shoot me some ideas.
This just came to me...night ride? Half and half. Hmmm....

It was a small group on Thursday and I almost left before Jolene and Kendra showed up. The three of us chatted for a while and then did Bonneville South. We parked at the 8th North Park and Ride in Orem by the mouth of Provo Canyon. We took the paved trail to Bridal Veil Park and jumped on Bonneville. We went at a good pace stopping periodically to regroup and/or share trail spurs we had ridden. We descended the switch backs above Canyon Road and returned to the cars. It was a perfect night for a ride--a nice breeze.
It was too bad there were not more people there to enjoy it. The three of us did seem to have fun though.
I am planning on September. Hope to see you there.

Ride Like a Girl is Thursday at 6 pm. We are meeting at Mad Dog is Orem. I have Girl's Camp this week, but will be back Thursday afternoon. Honestly, I am not sure where we are going to ride. We will figure it out though.

Yesterday we hit South Fork (Big Springs). Even with threatening skies, we had nine of us including myself. The weather was actually really nice. It was overcast and it sprinkled just a bit every now and then. The trail was really good though. We did two loops of fun.

In case you missed it on Thursday, there is another Dirt Demo for WSD bikes on Tuesday from 3-7 pm at Lambert Park. Details can be found here. I was able to ride a Trek Top Fuel last week.

And, of course, Ride Like a Girl is on for Thursday. See post below.

I can not believe that June is almost done. It flew by. Which means July's Ride Like a Girl is just around the corner. I am set and ready to go for July 2nd (Thursday). Meet up at Mad Dog Cycles in Orem at 6 pm. We will congregate for a minute or two and then head out to South Fork or Big Springs.
This will be a great way to kick off your 4th of July weekend. Hope to see you there.

I just got this from Mad Dog this morning:

Tori from Trek will be at Timp park this Thursday with bikes to demo. Will you pass the word to your Ride Like a Girl group? They will have the opportunity to ride wsd (woman specific design) full suspension bikes up on the race course etc. 4:00 till dark.


I will probably try to get there just after 4 and maybe go on a quick ride. I have meeting at 6:30 that evening that I need to attend so that will cut my time short.

This is a great opportunity to try new and different bikes on trails instead of test riding in a parking lot.
