Ride Like a Girl - Women's MTB Ride - Waterdog

(Note this is a Sunday ride, which is unusual for Ride Like a Girl.)

And now for something completely different ...

Well, not completely different. We're staying on the peninsula, but exchanging the sweeping views of the Skyline parks for the twisty tricksyness of Waterdog Lake & Open Space in Belmont. Ride Like a Girl last visited this park waaay back in 2014!

Join ride leader Rebecca Lewington at 8:30am at the Hidden Canyon trailhead. (2642 Carlmont Dr, Belmont, CA 94002). We'll gather up for a quick huddle to talk about the ride at about 8:45, and roll at 9:00 am.

We'll probably split into two groups. The Teal group will cover about 9 miles with 1,500 feet of climb. These trails are technical in spots, so this ride isn't recommended for less-experienced riders. Intermediate and up will be fine.

The longer, Denim group, will do a second, partial lap for 16 miles and 2,800' of climb, you'll have earned your after-ride beverage after a grand day out.

The mission of Ride Like a Girl is to have fun, learn new trails and meet other women (cis, trans and femme) who love to mountain bike. We’ll take care of you: these are no-stress rides where no one is left behind.

Please bring your mountain bike, obviously, in good working condition. (No ebikes, please. Ride Like a Girl is strictly acoustic.) Whether you’re running tubeless tires or not, please make sure you have a spare inner tube to fit your wheels, plenty of water and some food for the trail.

We usually hang out for a while after the ride, so bring along your favorite beverages and snacks if you feel like it. And a chair!
