South Boulder Trails Thursday 9/10

Well, all good things eventually come to an end. We’ve had a fabulous time riding with many new faces this year and unfortunately, this Thursday's ride (September 10), is our last ride of the season. It will be an All Levels ride starting at the Flatirons Vista Trail Head south of Boulder. This trail head is located on Hwy 93 just past Hwy 128 on the right hand side of the highway (map). Depending on daylight and how many times we stop to take pictures of the sunset, we will ride up the Prairie Vista Trail to Doudy Draw and over to do a loop on Springbrook, If you have a bike light and/or a headlamp, please bring it with you as it can get dark quickly this time of year. I don’t anticipate staying out past dark, but having light devices just in case, is always a good idea. We may split into more than one group depending on skill and the number of ladies who come out. This ride is suitable for confident beginners. All obstacles can be safely walked. Please use the blog to arrange carpooling if desired.

Dinner and drinks will follow at a location tbd.

Important Info about the Rides:

  1. All riders MUST wear a helmet, bring water, and have a trail-ready bike.
  2. Riders should also carry the usual basics: spare tube(s), a pump, tire levers, a chain tool, and basic allen wrenches.
  3. All riders ride at their own risk, group leaders take no responsibility for rider safety/injury.
  4. Riders must sign a liability waiver once during the season. If this is your first ride of the season, please bring a signed waiver with you or be prepared to complete one at the meeting spot.
  5. Rides launch at 6:00 pm so be at the trail head by 5:45 pm, dressed and ready to roll by 6 pm.
  6. If the weather is questionable (as it has been lately) make sure to check the blog after 3:00 pm on Thursdays for updated info.
  7. For permitting and planning purposes, please post your name in the comment field if you plan to join us. The comment field is also great for planning carpools, etc.

Send us an email if you have any questions – bmagirls.rideleader@gmail.com

Please don't be shy about coming out - all of us love biking and would like to hang out with girls that are interested in biking.

Looking forward to seeing you Thursday!

    I will be there! I think Rachel has room for one more if any Broadway/Alpine type would like to hop in with us. Planning on dinner.

    Hi everyone! I just moved to Boulder and I want to get into mountain biking, so I'll be joining you guys on this ride (my first ever). I know I'm posting this kind of late, but if anyone has extra room in their car and can give me a lift, that would be fantastic. I live at Bear Creek Apartments (3275 Apache Rd Boulder). My phone number is 864-921-5691. Thanks and I look forward to riding with you all.

    It will be great to have you along tomorrow Lauren. I personally don't have any space in my car, but you're not too late in posting. Many people will post tomorrow, so hopefully we'll find you a ride!

    I will be there! I live near to you Lauren, so I will call this a.m. to see if you still need a ride. Is dinner at Southern Sun?

    I have room for one more in my car. I'll be coming from Gunbarrel. Lauren - if Naomi can't pick you up, I will be going right past your place and could pick you up. I will stay for dinner. Although I love the place, Southern Sun has been horribly SLOW for our group on Thursdays.... But I'll eat wherever Liz decides!

    Happy Anniversary Tracy!

    I'm totally open to dinner suggestions. Yeah, having to wait over an hour at SS makes me end up hating the place. Although it's further to drive, I was thinking of Turleys on 28th and Pearl or The Rib House on Walnut and 14th(?). Any other "faster/healthy" eats anyone can think of?

    Enjoy the sunset tonight. I can rarely get out of work at a reasonable hour these days, so I'll have to see you all at the party instead.
