7/11 Ride - Hillside to Hollow

Because we've had so many new editions since our first couple rides (and in an attempt to mitigate heat stroke!), this Monday we will be riding the Hillside to Hollow loop. This trail is a good mix of uphill and downhill and is completely do-able (and totally fun) for any level. We will be meeting at the parking lot right next to Highlands Hollow Restaurant (2455 Harrison Hollow Lane, Boise, ID, 83702) to start the ride by 6:30.

We always have the option to head inside Highlands Hollow Restaurant for some yummy dinner/drinks after the ride for anybody that is interested.

Directions: Head up Harrison Blvd past Hill Road. You will see Serenity Spa to your left and will take a soft left at the next road and drive past Highlands Hollow Restaurant to the open parking lots right next to it.

Hope to see everyone there!

7/7 - Hulls Gulch Pictures

I think the mini-afternoon storm scared off some ladies for the ride but it ended up being really great weather. Perfect evening breeze and it was nice to escape the 90 degree heat for a bit. Really fun ride!! All pictures from the ride are posted on dirt dolls facebook page.

The crew: Mendy, Amy, Kath, Jen

7/7 Ride - Kestrel to Hulls Gulch

Because next Monday is a holiday, we are going to push our ride to Thursday the 7th.

We are going back to the oldies but goodies, up Kestrel and down through Hulls Gulch. Such a fun ride and completely do-able for everyone! Let's plan on meeting at Camel's Back Parking lot (right off of 13th street) to be on the trail by 7:00.

We can hit up Hyde Park afterwards for a cold cocktail!

Let us know if you can make it. Hope to see everyone there!

Save the Dates - I believe we will be doing Corrals on 7/11 and then TableRock on 7/18.

6/27 Ride - Eagle Bike Park

Monday's ride will be held at the Eagle Bike Park. Plan on meeting there at 7:00. We'll more than likely do the Junkyard trail, but there will be plenty of options to choose from. I know many girls are hoping to pass on knowledge from the recent trip to Trek's Dirt Series bike camp, so we may do a quick skills session before the ride if people are interested.

Bring any food/drinks you may want afterwards. For those of you who haven't been there, there is a nice little pavilion area we like to rendezvous in after the ride.

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.

Hope to see you all there!
