About this Event
This week we will explore the Kernscliffe/Waterdown trails. Be there and prepared for wheels to roll at 6:15PM.
Address :
!!! Note we are meeting at the trail entrance parking lot - this will be the second driveway on your left if you’re heading south on Kerns from Dundas St.
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. This week be prepared that we will be riding some rocky areas - this ride is not suited for someone’s first time mountain bike riding. 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.
The location of the ride will change from week to week so that we can explore all the amazing trail networks in the area. All information on When & Where to meet (or cancelation due to weather) will be communicated to attendees via in Eventbrite and/or email.
As a participant, you are expected to:
- Be ready to roll. We start the ride at 6:15 SHARP. 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.
- Bug spray is highly recommended.
- 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.
