Woodinville has the weekly Thrilla....Tolt has the weekly Tuesdays @ Tolt, Seatac has Mondays @ Seatac (every winter) and now the South End has the weekly Sawyer Gut Buster...My co-leaders are Dennis L and Derek C and we have each committed to this ride on a weekly basis.

LUNA Chix Beginner Skills Clinic for Women- Saturday, May 17 10am-1pm
Join us for a beginner skills clinic just for women. We’ll cover skills to make your rides more enjoyable and make you more comfortable on the bike. The environment is all women and very relaxed. We’ll break down the skills, demo them, then let you practice them while providing supportive input to help you get comfortable with them. There is no pressure and lots of encouragement. If you have wanted to learn how to make your ride more smooth, relaxed, and enjoyable or just to get over those roots, rocks and logs on the trail, come on out. The clinic will last approximately 3 hours, if time permits, we may also do a short trail ride to put those new skills into practice on the trails.
LUNA Bar sponsors our team to get more women involved in mountain biking. There are more than 25 teams across the US so LUNA is really putting their money where their mouth is relative to providing us more opportunities to learn and ride. In addition to our mission of providing riding and clinic opportunities for women, we raise money for the Breast Cancer Fund, a 501 (c )(3) that identifies and advocates for the removal of the environmental causes of Breast Cancer, www.breastcancerfund.org. For more info on Team LUNA Chix, go to www.lunabar.com.
Cost of the clinic is a $25 donation to the Breast Cancer Fund. Email to sign up prior to the event, sclementson@hotmail.com to receive a waiver form and instructions on where to send the fee. Note the ride limit is not set but the first 20 participants to sign up, return the waiver, and pay their fees will be accepted into the clinic. Hope to see you out there!

We will be working an area that will serve as an excellent warm up area, an area for any level rider to brush up on technical fundamentals, and an area that is conducive to promoting groups of riders to enjoy the fun aspects of technical riding. Come on down and be a part of something awesome.
Colonnade isn't Stonehenge or the Mayan Temples, but for a bunch of trails underneath the freeway built by mt. bikers for mt. bikers. Well it's pretty damn cool. Helping and support on all projects to get Colonnade completed will go a long way for future riding opportunities.

Are you fairly new to mountain biking and want to start working on technical skills? Tapeworm is a great place to practice tight twisty turns, getting over and around roots and other obstacles, and trying bridges and other stunts.
Meet, ready to ride, at 6:00 at the Phillip Arnold Park. If you haven’t been there before, follow the directions on the site and allow time to get lost. It’s a hard place to find the first time.
Call me at 206 941-9549, if you are going to be late or need further directions.

LUNA Chix – Ladies Intermediate Ride at Victoria Tract
Ah, Victoria Tract, gotta love those flowing, fast downhills, avoid the trees and it’s quite the rush! We’ll probably climb a bit out to the monument, do Magic Carpet, Ridge Trail, down through the valley and the fun little wood structures, rip out through that fun flowing section out to 300th and climb back out. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 12-14 miles or so, probably 3+ hours of riding.
We’ll stop for lunch at the monument but beyond that we’ll try to keep moving and not stop too much.
Carpools from the Ash Way P&R in Lynnwood (up off 164th across the freeway from the big ‘ol Wal-Mart up there). Carpools to depart at 8:30am or we’ll meet at the parking lot by the Glass school.
If you’re late, call my cell. 206-856-5606. Don’t forget a lot of water, some food, spare tube, helmet, etc. : )
Thanks – Susan / www.seattlelunachix.com

Join us on Saturday May 31st as we spend some time out on the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River Trail. The Cascade Land Conservancy will also be out there for a hike and BBQ celebration and this is an excellent opportunity for us to show the hiking community our dedication to the area.This in an important outreach event that'll provide us with a key opportunity to form bonds with the other groups who work in the Mid Fork. This CLC event will celebrate the acquisition of thousands of acres of privately owned forest land (98 percent of the valley is now publicly owned), and all of the hard work that has gone in to its ongoing stewardship.
The work party will be capped at 8 volunteers but others are welcome to come out to the BBQ afterwards. Click here to see the CLC Event Flier for more details.
**Folks who want to attend the BBQ will need to RSVP with the CLC. You can go to the CLC registration page or call (206) 905-6917.

Introductory ride with the intent of making it easier for the riders involved to set out on their own after the tour. We will stop several times to orient and look where we are on the map. Some other riders may even take the lead to see what it is like riding the trail from the front of the pack. 10-12 miles and 2 hours or so. Leaving promptly at 6. Call if running late. E-mail for D-tail. |

Aaaarrrr ... the beatings will continue until morale improves.
Longish ride for Galbraith, hoping for 30-35 miles, several trips up/down. Moderate "all day" pace (i.e. not a hammer festival), minimal rest stops, mostly single track w/ minimal roadage. Mostly XCish trails, although I'm also planning on Evolution, Mullet, and Bob's to name a few.
Meet at the Whatcom Falls Park lot. We ride promptly at the posted time. Bring lunch and other snacks....
Hurling early is strongly encouraged.
Optional post ride beers at Boundary Bay Brewing (Bellingham), Rudy's Pizza (Bellingham) or the Porter House (Mt Vernon)

2008 version kickoff. I'll be bringing my 14 year old with me this year on his first "real" bike trip so the long 40+ mile rides are out of the questions for me. But, if someone else is more than willing, by all means, lead a longer version. I'll be keeping mine under about 20 miles for this trip.
Friday: The usual Deschutes River trail ride right from camp off the KGB trail in teh Phil's Trails complex. Camping and there are toilets nearby at the trailhead, no fresh water (bring your own) and town is a mere 10 minutes away.
E-mail 4 D-tail. |

Leaving from camp in the middle of the Phil's complex and doing a bunch of laps around the area. perhaps up KGB to the helipad and a run down Whoops. Back up and then down Phil's for lunch. Then back out for another loop. The perfect mix and match Phil's day. |

Depending on snow. Climb up the road or Farewell trail to Mrazek for the loooong descent back to camp. Arguably one of the best trails around. Ride up from camp or drive up to the base of farewell at Tumalo Falls.
Options for Black Rock, McKenzie, Hood River, Lookout Mountain, or Gray Butte for on the way home rides as well.

"Aaarrr ... the beatings will continue until morale improves."
Based loosely on the Triple Threat, this ride will tour Lake Padden, Fairhaven Park, Chuckanut Ridge, and Galbraith Mtn. I have not ridden the whole route in one go yet and there are various options, but I would estimate 40-60 miles, 6000-8000' of climbing.
Meet at Whatcom Falls Park at 10am. We roll promptly at the posted time. If you'll be late, call me.
This is a long, moderate paced (i.e. comfortable/even all day pace with minimal rest stops, not a hammer festival) 6-9 hr unsupported ride. If you need to bail you must make your own arrangements for returning to your car. No bail points other than the one just behind you. It's possible to stage cars along the route: you're responsible for making any staging arrangements. If you're really desparate, my buddy Binky might pick up you along the route with his truck, in exchange for Cicchetti's pizza + beer. =)
Hurling early is strongly encouraged.

LUNA Chix Bike Maintenance Clinic for Women- Tuesday, June 24 6-7:30pm - Gregg's Cycles-Bellevue Location
Want to feel more independent out on the trail? Want to get comfortable changing a flat tire, fixing a broken chain, and doing basic adjustment of your brakes and shifters? Come out to a women’s-only bike maintenance clinic. Gregg’s Cycles is doing 2 clinics for us, one in Greenlake and one in Bellevue. They’ll provide the mechanic and the space and demo how to perform these basic maintenance tasks. Feel free to bring a wheel, levers and pump if you want to get some practice on changing the tube. The clinic will be an hour and a half with a half an hour from 7:30-8pm to shop if you decide you need to purchase a tool or two. Minimal tools to have on rides – spare tube (check tire size prior to class), tire levers, patch kit, pump, chain tool and a multi-tool.
LUNA Bar sponsors our team to get more women involved in mountain biking. There are more than 25 teams across the US so LUNA is really putting their money where their mouth is relative to providing women more opportunities to learn and ride. In addition to our mission of providing riding and clinic opportunities for women, we raise money for the Breast Cancer Fund, a 501 (c )(3) that identifies and advocates for the removal of the environmental causes of Breast Cancer, www.breastcancerfund.org. For more info on Team LUNA Chix, go to www.lunabar.com.
Cost-$20 Donation to the Breast Cancer Fund. Email to sign up prior to the event, info@seattlelunachix.com to receive a waiver form and instructions on where to send the fee. Note the limit is not set but the first 15 participants to sign up, return the waiver, and pay their fees will be accepted into the clinic. Hope to see you out there!
Huge thanks to Gregg’s for donating their time and space. Besides how cool they are for doing this just for the ladies, they also carry the LUNA sport products like the Moons, electrolyte drinks and recovery drinks, woohoo!
