Mirror Lake - July 18

More perfect weather greeted us at Mirror Lake where the trails were in perfect condition for a fabulous ride. Two loops make up 3 miles of ups and downs - at times very challenging! We did several loops, both directions, and had a great workout!

We found one of the Alaska Dirt Diva markers on the yellow loop! We donated money to help build the trails, and we have 2 markers out there - pretty cool!

Maggi let out a whoop whoop as she rounds a corner.

 JoAnn concentrated on making a curve after a steep climb.

Gloria was enjoying the ride!

Gloria and JoAnn show off their Diva shirts next to the matching Diva logo on the post.

Rose and Nancy took a moment to point out the post!

Kincaid - June 27

YA-HOOOOoooo!! A very enthusiastic group of Divas takes a photo break during a ride at Kincaid.

Hillside STAs - June 20

It was a warm and beautiful night for a ride on the Hillside STA single-track trails. We divided into a couple of groups and headed out.

After climbing Drone and Queen Bee, we stopped for a photo opportunity before heading on. Fun night, fun ride!

Nancy's group was all about having fun, and the smiles prove it! And, we did some skill building along the way. YIPPEE!

Happy, happy group!

Bev's smile pretty much sums up our ride as she zips around the final Toilet Bowl curve.

Judy rocked the rocks on Tower Power.

Shelley ventured out on her FIRST-EVER mountain bike ride and she was awesome! She's a true Diva now!

Krista smoothly navigates a curve on Toilet Bowl.

Rae confidently climbs up Stairway to Heaven.

Diane also kicked Stairway's butt!

Bonnie, who was our sweep, glides around a curve on Toilet Bowl.

Spring Fling!

There was a wild assortment of costumes and colors in this year's Spring Fling. We gathered at Elderberry Park, headed out on the coastal trail, biked to Point Woronzof, and managed to avoid the rain.

Divas boasted rainbow colors and sparkly sneakers, and a lot of smiles!

Denise grabbed first place with her hilarious cowgirl costume, complete with a stick horse!

Kersten, who won 2nd place for her Where The Wild Things Are costume, helps keep Kaity - dressed in a sleeveless prom dress - warm.

Diana won first place for best bike, and Danielle won 2nd.

Shelley, Michele and Krista are ready to ride!

JoAnn wore her best dress for the occasion!

Julie and Katherine were very colorful Divas!

Kersten (2nd place, costume) even gave her bike a wild look!

Patti was an awesome hula girl!

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.
