7. First Friday: The Females' Fiesta, an evening for women wriders, Friday June 6th, 6:30pm




Following on the warm reception we got from slower ladies on the idea and the implementation of the FBG rides, we have decided to feature one night a month that is just for women.

We have set aside the First Friday of each month for all our female friends to come ride, hang out, socialize and shop in an atmosphere that has a reduced testosterone level. Much like the Wednesday Wrides we will start from the shop and ride up to Waterdog Park, and split into groups of similar levels. All rides will leave about 6:30pm.

The Fat Bottomed Girl ride, featuring Patty as the ride leader, will pedal off at a sedate and social pace. Fat bottom not required! This ride will NOT include most of the singletrack, but will instead stick to one of the following: either A) 90% or more paved and dirt roads, and/or B) Skills practice around the dirt jump area.

The Long Legged Ladies ride, with a ride leader TBD, will enjoy a brisk and lung-opening spin up pavement to the narrow and twisty singletrack that makes Waterdog Famous. Steep climbs, switchbacks, singletrack slaloms, and other technical fun awaits those who can pedal with aplomb. Long legs not required!

The Mid-pack Mommas ride, with a ride leader TBD, will fit the bill between slow and frisky. Motherhood not a requirement! This ride will offer frequent regroups and will feature opportunities to "do-over" some of the technical features that might trip you up on the first look. Singletrack, including narrow hillsides, switchbacks, and other challenges will help you advance your skills in a supportive group.

Depending on turnout, rides may combine, split, morph or stop at the coffee shop. We're not sure what these women will decide, but we are sure it's going to be fun.

Post-ride, we will hang out in the lounge, enjoy a taco bar with low-fat and vegetarian options, imbibe various libations, and partake of some good old fashioned smack-talk about boys.

After re-fueling and rehydrating, we will lay waste to the women's clothing section. Patty will have her notepad as we discuss the finer points of fabric, fit, function, and marketing fluff. Bring your favorite clothes and tell us why you love them! Our goal is to help improve the selection of womens' specific products that Passion Trial Bikes carries in the store. There will also be a gear swap where you can bring any clothes that don't fit your figure or your style. There will also be a donation barrel for any unwanted goods that remain; these items will be donated to girls on the NorCal High School League teams around the Bay Area. If we have enough enthusiasm after handling all the soft goods, we may play around with some of the cool parts to make your bike prettier or way more fun to ride.

Lastly, we will pull down the silver screen and throw the switch on the projector to let us all unwind watching some seriously stunning boy-talent in the film "Seasons" by the Collective.
