Ride Leader: Tori Eldridge
Location: Duthie Hill Mountain Bike Park, Issaquah, WA
Overview
This ride is for those who identify as female. Join us for a social jump and drop session at Duthie Hill! Riders should be comfortable on blue trails with some basic jump and drop experience.
Expect wet features, softer dirt, and slick woodwork — we’ll ride at your pace. This is not a clinic, but a fun, supportive social session. Uphills will be casual, downhills at your own speed.
Focus Trails: Luna Lines, Gravy Train, Ryan’s Eternal Flow, Space Coaster, Voodoo Child
