Women's trail ride August 21st!

We’re headed back to the trail! The third in our series of all-ladies trail rides will be Saturday August 21st. We will meet at 9am at the Wolf Road Woods parking lot in the Palos forest reserve. Palos has a wide variety of trails to suit every skill level. For those interested in trying out a race, Palos will be home to the Palos Meltdown mountain bike race the very next day.

Riders of all skill levels are welcome and experienced riders will be along to help those who are just starting out or looking to improve their skills. Our two previous rides have been a lot of fun! We hope that these rides will help more women get involved in mountain biking and build community and confidence among female and transgender cyclists in Chicago.

Please check the CAMBr website to make sure Palos is open for riding before you come out. If the light is RED, consider the ride canceled. Riding wet trails destroys them, and the hard work of volunteers. We’ll also post up here the night before if weather means the ride will have to be canceled. Fingers crossed for dry weather!

PS: Don’t forget your helmet!
