Trailside Repair Clinic

Rose taught a trailside repair clinic at the Susitna Bicycle Institute (www.school.bike) - a great place to take all sorts of bike-related classes. We are so lucky to have Rose - she knows all kinds of stuff!!

Besides learning what tools we should carry with us, we learned about tires. tubes, fixing flats, dealing with tubeless tires, fixing a chain, chain rings and gear combinations, and preventative maintenance, including cleaning and lubing our chain.

We even learned that all the thingys (bike parts) actually have names! Haha.

Thanks to Susitna Bicycle Institute and to Rose for this helpful clinic.

Chester Creek/Campbell Creek

Noticeably warmer temperatures greeted us as we split into 2 groups to ride the Chester Creek and Campbell Creek trails.

Clouds hovered, but we didn't get rained on!

We paused at Westchester Lagoon for a group photo.

Julie was the leader of the Chester Creek riders.

Michele and Shelly take a selfie at Westchester.

Diva Season Begins!

The chilly, wintery weather didn't deter about a dozen Dirt Divas who kicked off the 2018 season with a Glenn Highway ride.  A hailstorm swept through before the ride, but it passed, and it was a successful, fun first ride.

Katherine led the ride, and took this photo of the happy group.
