Ride Like a Girl will be riding Greenbrier State Park this Saturday at 10 am. Greenbrier is somewhat similar to Gambrill, rocky with some serious climbs. This is not a ride for beginners, but if you have a reasonable level of technical riding ability and fitness, you'll be fine. We're only going to have one group, at a casual pace with few stops (to keep warm).

Park info: http://www.more-mtb.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1215
We will meet at the parking lot by the boat ramp. After entering the park follow the signs to the boat ramp. The parking lot is at the bottom of the hill next to the lake. Also, there is a $3 entrance fee in to the park.

Both of these rides are dependent on weather! Please check your email or this thread the night before to check on the status of the ride. It is going to be cold and there may be snow still on the ground, so please dress accordingly.

What to Bring: All riders MUST wear a helmet (no lid, no ride), 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. And DRESS WARMLY, layers work best. And good gloves and boots or shoe covers are also important.

Please let me know if you plan on riding with us, so I'll know how many riders to plan for.

I am planning to get up there as well. I may try to get there around 9 to do a warm up lap (literally)if anyone wants to join.

Liz, I am not sure I will make it for this ride. I am having some bike issues and don't know if I can get them resolved before morning. If I'm not there by 10, assume I'm not coming.

Nice ride ladies! Thanks! I'm definitely going to check out the race in April and it's good to get a baseline and lots of areas to improve. :)

Later, Julia

Nice riding with you Julia! Great ride today, trails are fantastic, with enough snow to make it challenging. And many thanks to Anne for stepping up to lead!
