Women's trail ride!

The great turnout at the all women’s trail ride in April has made us excited to hit the trails again!

Our next ride will be Saturday May 29th. We will meet at 10am at the Wolf Road Woods parking lot in the Palos forest reserve. Palos is home to Chicago’s best singletrack and has a wide variety of trails to suit every skill level.

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. It is our 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.

Energy bars and drinks will be provided courtesy of CAMBr. Bring a lunch and we’ll picnic together after the ride!

Also, please note that riding trail when it is wet destroys the trails and the hard work of volunteers. 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. We’ll also post up here the night before if weather means the ride will have to be canceled. Fingers crossed for sunshine!

PS: Don’t forget your helmet!
