Hillside STA Trails From Service H.S.

The rain finally stopped for our Wednesday ride, and 2 groups of Divas headed out to bike the Hillside trails from Service high school.

Michele debates whether to jump the branch or remove it.

Gess, who was our leader, does some badass isometric biking along the trail.

 Dora attempts the crazy roots on Llama.

Patti whizzes through a section of the Hive.

Gess and Patti use a phone app to figure out our route.

Gess cleans the rocks on the way down Queen Bee!!

Jenna - who had never ridden the STA trails before - cruises over the rocks - nice job!

Chugiak Ski Trails and Beach Lake

Christine led a small, but determined group through the Chugiak ski trails near Beach Lake.

Yay! We're biking in the rain - again!

WOW - The puddles were enormous! Lots of fun getting muddy!

The path out to the ocean view was a bit wet, but that didn't stop the group!

Far North Bicentennial Campbell Tract

Another rainy Wednesday did not deter a group of seven Divas who biked the Far North Bicentennial Campbell Tract from from the Abbott Loop Community Park.

Rain, what rain???!!!

Kincaid from Stadium Parking Lot

Another rainy Wednesday did not scare a small, but tough group of Divas for a ride at Kincaid from the Stadium parking Lot.

Michele led us on an adventurous route, and managed to totally avoid a very large group of Arctic Bike Club racers!

Michele and Katherine bike up a steep ski trail on the way back to the Change of Pace trail.

Kirsten pedals past some massive Devil's Club with a massive smile.

Krista is always happy when she's biking with the Divas!

Whose legs are whose??  Three muddy Divas strike a ballet pose to show off the dirt - what a fun, wet, muddy ride it was!

Powerline to Green Lake

 Seven intrepid Divas arrived at the Glen Alps parking lot, greeted by a stiff wind and some stray, spritzy raindrops. We actually toyed with the idea of driving somewhere lower to escape the wind, but we pressed on, battling the weather, and made it to Green Lake.

The rain picked up as we rode east toward the lake, but we were not deterred!

 Judy, Krista and Bonnie - one of our leaders, bike out from the gorgeous, wet scenery at the lake.

Diana - our other leader, bikes the fast downhill back toward the trailhead.

The rain did not crush Judy's Spirit - or her smile!

Krista and Bonnie enjoy some gravely downhill on the way back.

Hillside STA Trails

 After a mostly rainy day, the skies dried up just in time for a Diva ride at the Hillside STA trails.

This group was particularly happy about the ride!

Dora jumped for joy at the top of Queen Bee.

Brenda glided over the boardwalks on the Llama trail.

Karina and her mother, Mindy, below, were having fun together!

Yay for mother-daughter Divas!

Thanks, Denise, for taking this group photo!

It was Diva Nancy's birthday, and she was super happy when fellow Divas had a surprise celebration at the end of the ride, complete with her favorite libation - Fireball!! Thanks, everyone for hanging around and helping me celebrate - what a great group!!

Mirror Lake

A rainy day made for some slick trails at the new Mirror Lake single track, but 5 intrepid Divas braved the weather and had a great time.

Lindy led the group through the wooded area in Chugiak.

Some of the trails are steep and challenging and not for wimps!

Thank-you Katherine for the photos!
