Sterling Valley Ladies Night Ride from mandy wisell on Vimeo.
Tuesday night is the Ladies Night Rides. Each week we ride trails in Stowe or Waterbury, according to the posted schedule. The ladies rides are open to ladies with at least some mountain biking experience, they are not beginner rides (sorry, the terrain is just too challenging in Stowe and Waterbury). It’s a great environment to challenge yourself and work on some skills with a supportive group of ladies or make new friends that enjoy mountain biking as much as you do. The rides are generally 1.5-2 hours long and very social while still getting a great ride.
The Ladies Ride always goes as scheduled, except if the weather is really terrible. Check the SMBC Facebook page or follow me on Twitter @mandywisell for ride announcements and weather proclamations.
Here’s the schedule for the second part of the summer (subject to change):
- July 12: Stowe — the Wall
- July 19: Waterbury Waterworks and pot luck
- July 26: Stowe — Town Loops and Pipeline
- August 2: No ride (sorry, traveling)
- August 9: Waterbury Perry HIll
- August 16: Stowe
- August 23: No ride (sorry, traveling)
- August 30: Waterbury Perry Hill (last official ride)
Waterbury rides meet at Five Hills Bikes, leave at 6pm. Exception will be Waterworks, we can meet at my house. Email me mandy (at) bike29.com for directions.
Stowe rides meet at Town Loops trailhead behind iRide, leave at 6pm.
We generally start riding right on time, so plan to get there 15 minutes early to get ready. Hope to have a nice crew again this year, last year we had a lot of fun. Any questions? Joining us for the first time? Feel free to email me mandy (at) bike29.com.
