MTB WOMEN’S ONLY BEGINNER+ RIDE ON THE BIG EASY LOOP
Wednesday June 24, 2026
Meet: Round Valley Ice Arena Parking Lot for a 9:00 am on-time departure.
MTB Ride: This is a supportive, women’s-only ride on The Big Easy Loop (clockwise direction). This is a strictly “no-drop” ride, meaning we will ride at a casual pace and no one will be left behind. It is a great route for advanced beginners, we will cover about 7.25 miles with ~500 feet of climbing. Because the trail includes a few switchbacks and rocky sections, it is not recommended for first-time riders.
Women’s MTB Group & Day Trips: We are currently exploring interest in establishing a dedicated, ongoing women’s-only MTB group. In addition to our local Park City rides, we would love to coordinate day trips to explore trail networks outside the immediate PC area. We will use this ride to gauge interest, discuss ideas, and use our coordination channel for future carpools and route planning.
E-bikes: E-bikes are welcome for those who qualify.
Bring: Calorie-packed snacks, plenty of water, a bike tube, tire levers, a pump, and sunscreen. Please ensure your tires are inflated to the recommended pressure before arrival. Knee and elbow pads are recommended.
Don’t Bring: Cow/bear bells (courtesy bells OK), music boxes, speakers, earphones, or dogs.
Activity Release Form: All participants are required to sign and fill out the Club’s Activity Release form that will be provided by the MTB leader at the meeting location. Signature, print name, club member (Y/N), your cell phone number and your emergency contact phone number.
Additional rides: Wednesday, July 1, 2026 – if there is sufficient interest on 06/24 an additional ride details and location will be posted.
