Girls Rock got its start in spring 2014 when founder Jessica Klodnicki spotted a fellow Dirt Series camper Juliann Klein near Santa Cruz's Emma McCrary trailhead. That day, Jessica and Juliann rode together, and they collected a few more women along the way. It gave them the idea that they might rally more women to ride together. Fast forward to 2022, and both Girls Rock and Dirt Series are still going strong. We’d like to share the perspective of a Girls Rock volunteer guide, Allison Pfefferkorn, who also works for Dirt Series. Take it away, Allison!
