August 2024

Hello MountainAdoras!

We had a pretty small turnout at our last monthly meeting but attached is the calendar and here are our updates:

STRAVA – We’ve had a good response to our use of Strava this past month! Again, this allows ride leaders to better communicate any last minute changes and get an idea of who to expect. Become a member of the MountainAdoras Strava group here: https://www.strava.com/clubs/mountainadoras

RIDES – Its still hot, trail access is still limited but we have a few things on the calendar:

-          Monday Night rides will transition to a West Fork lap for the remainder of the month. Meet Lizzo @ the corner of Gibraltar and E Mountain drive at 6PM. You may want to bring lights if you have them for the ride back!

-          Women Led Road Rides will still be happening on Saturday mornings leaving at 7:30 AM from Handlebar Coffee Roasters on De la Vina. This is an all levels no drop road ride. Check the discord and Strava for updates!

SENDURO – There was a good turnout for last month’s group road ride on the lake loop! This month will be the West Camino Cielo Gravel Grinder  - a 50 mile 5700 ft wild ride. Kate will be leading a group 8/18 Starting at 7:30 AM at the bottom of OSM. See the website and Strava link for more details: https://www.mountainadoras.com/senduro

EVENTS:

-          Sugarplum Shred Fest – September 7-8 @ Santas Village/ Skypark Bike Park – this is a pedal up bike park with awesome flow trails. This event will feature women owned MTB brands and merchants and typically has opportunities for clinics and demos. I’m hoping to attend on the 7th if anyone would like to join me! https://skyparksantasvillage.com/  

-          In the works: Brake bleed clinic, bikepacking presentation/conversation. More to come on these!

Our next monthly meeting will be August 26 7PM at Topa Topa in the Funk Zone – see you there!

Happy Shredding!
