Upcoming GGG Rides

No formal rides posted so far for this week but, if anyone is interested in leading a Fun and Easy ride either at Growlers or your favorite trails, please let me know when and where and I will get the word out!

Nancy Pearson will be hosting a Fun and Easy GGG ride at Stella on Saturday March 23rd.  Meet at the Eufaula Heights/Harmony Drive parking area at 10:00 a.m.  If you need directions or have questions please contact Nancy at singletrack69@msn.com If you are planning on going please let Nancy know no later than Friday 3/22 so no one gets left behind.

For other women’s MTB options in our area be sure and check out the NWTA Women’s Group Facebook page.  They have a bunch of great stuff scheduled at some places you may not have ridden before!

Don’t forget Ladies Night at The Lumberyard in Portland.  They have extended in to March to keep the good times rolling!  It starts at 6pm.  $15 admission and $6.95 bike rental.  It’s a great time with a super supportive group of women.  You won’t regret it!

If road riding is your thing then April is your gal.  This is what she has on tap for the next couple of weeks.  If you’re interested please contact her at aprkin2000@msn.com at least one day in advance of the rides to let her know you’re coming.

Upcoming Stuff!

Hello ladies!
I don't have any formal rides scheduled for this weekend but if you're heading out and want some company, let me know and I will get a message out to the group.

I will be looking for ride leaders for Fun and Easy rides throughout the summer.  It doesn't have to be at Growlers it can be at your favorite riding spot.  Think about it and let me know.  I like to have at least 2 rides per month from March through October

Here is the link to the GG event calendar!!
2013 Schedule - Drag out your calendar. Check these dates. So much going on that it's hard to keep it all straight. Info at http://writeteknorthwest.com/archives/12378/2013-action
Jeep has a big work party scheduled at Growlers on February 9th.  If you can make it let me know and I will get you on the list.  If you ride you gotta build!
