RLAG: Rosaryville 11/18

[liznotter]

Ride Like a Girl will be riding Rosaryville this Saturday at 10 am.

Where: Rosaryville (park info and directions) Note: Cost for park access is $3 per Maryland car and $4 per out of state vehicle. We will meet at the first parking lot past the payment kiosk.

Particulars: Rosaryville is an approximately 10 mile loop of tight twisty single-track with some great climbs and descents. Many of the technical trail features have walkarounds, so this is a good ride for less-experienced riders; it does provide a workout, though. We will have two groups with leaders at this ride: Dharma will lead the casual group and Liz will lead the more moderate pace.

About Ride Like a Girl: Most rides are beginner-friendly, but are geared toward women who have at least a little mountain biking experience. Please check the Ride Like a Girl website for information on trails and recommended skill levels. Rides are expected to last from 60 to 120 minutes.

All riders MUST wear a helmet, bring water, and have a trail-ready bike. Riders should also carry the usual basics: spare tube(s), a pump, tire levers, a chain tool, and basic allen wrenches.

Please let me know if you're planning on attending.

I'm excited to try Rosaryville after being at Schaeffer for my last 3 rides. Thanks so much for organizing everything Liz!

I love Rosaryville! I'll try to make it for the casual ride, but tt's my bf's birthday Friday night, so I'll see if I rustle myself up in-time for 10am. :)

Later, Julia

Wish I could make it but will be out of town. Hope everyone has a blast there and no big crashes.

I am working my wife over to go. I may have talked her into it? Maybe too much rain? Keep us posted please.

It's not looking good for the RLAG ride tomorrow. Dan Hudson is out there with a trail crew today and will let me know trail conditions this evening. As soon as I hear I will post up.

Well, we're going to have a go at Rosey tomorrow. I have it on good authority that much of the trail is dry. I will cut the ride short if we find too much mud out there. So it may end up being a lesson in trail stewardship. And there's always bar-b-que afterward. (Someone knows where the restaurant is, right? I don't :) )

Hey gals, would you mind posting trail condition after your ride or lack there of tomorrow? I was supposed to meet up with hubby Thursday, but we all know how that ended up. Worked today so that I could take Monday off, if trails are good tomorrow I'll know Monday is a sure bet (unless the little rain cloud that follows my days off finds out). Would love to join in the reindeer games tomorrow but am unable.

I'll be there! I'm hoping Rosaryville will be as good on a single speed as I've heard! ;)

Rosaryville was still too wet and muddy: the RLAG group turned around after a half mile or so.

Gambrill on December 9th!
