Please post any questions or comments in the Freewheel Dirt Girls MTB Community group on Facebook, especially if you need or can offer a lift.

ABOUT THIS WEEK'S RIDE:

In addition to your regular riding gear, we recommend kneepads if you have them (Mel will have demo knee pads on hand if you don't own a pair yet, or stop in to Freewheel Cycle and ask about options). Also we strongly recommend bug spray. This trail system is rocky and flat so it will be an excellent opportunity to expand and hone our technical skills.

If you are new to mountain biking or this will be your first time riding with us, please consider waiting until next week's ride (unless you have previous experience at Hilton/AF). These trails are more challenging and might not be suitable for newer riders.

CARPOOLING: Use our social media event post or our Freewheel Dirt Girls Community Facebook page if you can offer or require a ride.

These group rides are for female identifying riders of all mtb skill levels seeking to enjoy mountain biking and improve their mtb skills with likeminded riders. The Dirt Girls mtb group values inclusion, skills progression, building fitness, camaraderie and falling in love with the sport. These no-drop rides will be split into groups based on skill and comfort level so everyone has a great time. Each group will be guided by designated Freewheel Cycle volunteers to ensure safety and no one gets lost. :)

As a participant, you are expected to:

• Be ready to roll. We start the ride at 6:15 SHARP from the parking lot off Fourth Line Nassagaweya. Plan to arrive early enough for your pre-ride preparations. It is very uncool to hold up the whole group while you scramble to get ready.
• Wear a cycling specific helmet less than 5 years old and have an appropriate trail bike in good working order. (Sorry but for your safety: no department store bikes!) Our service technicians are very talented but they are not magicians and cannot service your bike before the ride.
• Bring water. Staying hydrated is important so bring your own water and maybe a snack to keep up your energy.
• Have some level of fitness. This is a physical activity, we will be riding up hills as well as down. We don’t expect you to be able to ride up all the hills but having some foundation of cardio fitness will be helpful to keep the group moving. (ie; not Day 1 off the couch)
• Be self-sufficient. Mechanical issues happen and while our guides are happy to help as best they can, each rider should carry a mini-pump, spare tube and quick link suited for their own bike.
• Dress appropriately for the activity and weather conditions. Bug spray and/or sun block is recommended.
• Be considerate and supportive to others. Encourage each other as we push the edges of our comfort zones and try new things.
