First WTF Mtn Bike Ride of da semester!!

OVERVIEW

Have you been interested in biking, but this cold has really cramped your style? Well, Haley and I are going to lead a beginner mountain bike ride! The snow has started to melt and the trails are looking good. It is also going to be a little warmer on Sunday (a high of 45 whoop whoop!!) So it’s the perfect time to hop back on the bike!

This is the 1st WTF ride of the semester, which means Women, Trans, and Femme. Since mountain biking is such a male-dominated sport, both in our club and in general, we decided to make this an affinity trip for our women, trans, and nonbinary members! Anyone is welcome to join this trip, but it is aimed for people who identify with WTF!

On the ride we will go over basic body position, braking, and everything to make you comfortable on the bike! The pace will be nice and slow with lots of breaks. The only prerequisite for this trip is being able to ride a bike comfortably and safely. Mtn biking can be considered dangerous and has inherent risks, so if you have any questions about it shoot me a text 434-664-5154.

***this trip isn’t necessarily first come first serve, as removal from the waitlist will be based on bike size availability, however we will try our best to go in order of sign ups***

What to bring:
Water! and maybe a small backpack to carry it, unless it will fit in a bike water bottle cage
Closed-toe shoes (tennis shoes or vans work great)
