August Low Gear Ladies/LQBTQ+ Ride (Or Trail Day!)
Join us on Wednesday, August 21st, at 5:30 PM for our next Ladies Low Gear Ride at Woody Hill!
Whether you're a novice rider or an intermediate looking to have some fun on the trail, this ride is all about building confidence, socializing, and supporting each other. We'll be sessioning sections and enjoying a relaxed pace—perfect for gaining skills and making new friends!
Note: We will meet rain or shine! If it's too wet to ride, we'll switch gears to light trailwork—clearing brush, trimming, and raking. Bring gloves and clippers if you've got them (and a raincoat if you need it!).
Led by: Tabitha Wilson, RINEMBA
Sign up here so we know who’s coming: https://x.gldn.io/e/GlhGoRh84Lb
Don't miss out—see you on the trail!
