4/30 Ride Cancelled - Due to Wet Trails

Unfortunately, we've decided to cancel tonight's ride. Although we may be in the clear as far as rain goes, we've gotten word that the trails are still pretty wet. We realize all of the Dirt Dolls are super tough and could totally have hacked the rain, but we're doing this out of respect for the trails. The ride will be postponed until next Monday (5/7) and will still occur at the Eagle Bike Park at 6:30. We apologize, and we're looking forward to next week!

Thanks!

First Season Ride - 4/30 Eagle Bike Park

EAGLE BIKE PARK

For our first ride (weather permitting) we will hit up the Eagle Bike Park "Junkyard Trail". It is definitely one of the easier rides in Boise - short and sweet - and will be a nice way to ease our biking legs into the season. It also has plenty of other fun biking things to do for those who are feeling super energetic that day.

We will be splitting up into two groups, a beginner and an intermediate group. The intermediate riders will do a longer (but still pretty mellow) trail while the beginner group will stick with the short and sweet trail and will make some time during the ride to answer questions, stretch our legs if needed, and work on basic riding skills.

Plan on arriving prior to 6:30 as both groups will start up the trail at that time.

Directions: From State Street, head North on "N Horseshoe Bend Road". This is the road just east of Highway 55 (right by WINCO). Stay on this road for a few miles and you will see the park to your right. You can also type in "Idaho Velodrome and Cycling Park" into mapquest to get directions. The park website is at http://eaglebikepark.org/visiting/maps/ which also has directions.

We will provide brats, hotdogs, buns, and condiments as well as some champagne for after the ride. Feel free to bring some food/snacks/drinks to throw into the mix if you'd like. There is a nice covered picnic area we like to take over.

Hope to see everyone there!

Meet and Greet

Great turnout for the meet and greet! Thanks to everyone who made it out!

Meet and Greet 4/23

Welcome Back Dirt Dolls!

Spring has definitely arrived and we are all super excited to dust off our bikes and hit the trails. We thought it would be a great idea prior to our first ride to meet up for a casual get together (sans biking helmets), have a cocktail, and get pumped up for the season.

We will be meeting at the bar area of Cafe Ole in BODO around 6:30 on Monday, April 23rd.

Feel free to come and bring anyone who's interested in learning about who the Dirt Dolls are and what we do! Additionally, please save the date for our first organized ride of 2012, which will be the following Monday on April 30th (weather and trail conditions permitting!). More info on the first ride of the season to follow!

Hope to see you all there!
