Overview
This ride is for those who identify as female.
Join us for a ladies’ social jump and drop session at Duthie Hill Mountain Bike Park.
Riders should be comfortable on blue trails with some basic jump and drop experience.
Features may be wet, so expect softer dirt and slick woodwork.
This is a social session, not a clinic — ride your own ride.
We’ll take the uphills at a social easy pace and the downhills at your own speed.
Plan to ride Luna Lines, Gravy Train, Ryan’s Eternal Flow, Space Coaster, and Voodoo Child.
