This ride is for beginner and intermediate riders.  We will have 2 ride leaders, so we can split into groups if we get a big turnout.
This is a ride for anyone 18 years or older who identifies as female

Trails:  Fun, rooty trails with some technical XC and some flowy faster trails.  Some punchy climbs.  Plan to ride for about 2 hours with breaks.
Meet at 10am at the main trailhead (Paradise Conservation area).    This trailhead has had some vehicle breakins in past years, so don't leave anything valuable in your car.  Please be on time--we cannot wait more than 10 minutes for late arrivers. If you decide not to come, please text me. Starting time is 10:15.
Carpool if you can; parking is limited at this site!
