Trek Women MTN Bike Ride #1-May 5th


Hello Ladies

It was so great to meet many of you at the Wine and Cheese.  Our first ride will be this Saturday at Hardwood Ski and Bike (clicking on the link will take you to their website - in case you need directions on how to get there).  Please be ready to ride for 10am.  We will do introductions out on the deck in front of the chalet at 10am and then split into three groups.  We will ride until around noon.

If you have not yet signed up (paid fees AND signed waivers), you can either do so at the Trek Store (705) 733-0027, or at Hardwood on Saturday at 9:30 am.  If you sign up at Hardwood, please bring cash as I will not have a means to process credit cards.  If you need to pay by credit card, you will have to do so at the store before Saturday.

Gear:  You will need to bring a helmet, shoes (running shoes work) and a mountain bike in good working order.  Hybrid bikes, or road bikes are not sufficient for riding mountain bike trails.  If your bike has not been serviced in a while, please have it looked at before Saturday.  Your brakes should be working properly, tires pumped up to about 40psi and your gears should shift easily.  

For the roadies out there who want to try out mountain biking, this is the best time to do so.  Hardwood is the only venue at which we ride that rents mountain bikes.  So, you could rent a bike and try it out :)

If you do not have a membership at Hardwood, you will need to buy a day pass. Follow the link for rates and directions!

We look forward to riding with everyone on Saturday!
