Ride Like a Girl will be riding Rosaryville State Park this Saturday, May 5, at 10 am. This is a very beginner-friendly ride, so come out to join us (uhhh... if you're female)!
Rosaryville is an approximately 10 mile loop of tight twisty single-track with some nice 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: JoM will lead the casual group and Liz will lead a more moderate pace. "Casual" means a slower pace and more-frequent stops to regroup. The moderate group will have fewer stops to regroup, for shorter lengths of time. This is a training ride for me, so we will be moving at a fairly steady pace, but not hammering.
Where: Rosaryville (http://www.more-mtb.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1198) 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.
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 going to pre-ride a loop at 9 am, anyone is welcome to join.
