Here’s what to expect at all our rides:
Girls Rock is a free, monthly, no-drop ride, open to all levels. Please reference our ride levels when choosing your group.
No drop means that we account for everyone and regroup to wait for slower riders, so no rider is left on her own.
As a rider, you need to provide your own transportation to the ride; a bike, helmet, shoes, protective eyewear/sunglasses, water/food. Here’s a complete description of how to prepare for a mountain bike ride.
This is a social ride at a social pace. If waiting for others isn’t for you, we have a Google Group and Slack. See the sign-up on our home page. There, you can propose to lead rides between rides and share your pace and time constraints.
We meet at different hosts each ride. Our hosts and supporters are mostly around Santa Cruz. Like any good friend, our hosts provide us hospitality, facilities and good cheer at a level they are able. Please return the favor: When you ride with us, you can shop and tell your friends how cool they are to let us drop in on them!
If you are lucky enough to get to demo a bike at our hosts, great! BUT do not count on it. Read our invitations carefully to determine if demos are offered. And sign up for demos as soon as they are offered. Our hosts are in business to sell bikes, so if you aren’t thinking about buying, it’s best to find an alternative.
We are completely volunteer-run, not paid coaches/ guides. Many of us started riding with this group. Do you want to get involved? Please join us! We need help at all levels.
