Meet in front of the Trailhead building 5-10 minutes before 5PM or join us later on the trail - if posted or you know where to go.

As a reminder, MORC liability waivers need to be signed every year (in person upon arrival), so please make sure you've signed this year's waiver and signed in for the trailwork session before grabbing a tool.

WHY:

“I know what it's like to walk into a situation where you don't know what you're doing and it feels weird.  It's not like that here.  We love new people.  We love people who want to help the trail.  If folx want to do this once or if they want to make it a thing, we've got their back.” - Mara, MORC Crew Leader

I also completely agree and relate to this statement. Getting involved in trail work is intimidating. I’ve been in trail work situations where I didn’t feel welcome and didn’t feel comfortable - and didn’t even know where to begin or what to ask, which kept me from returning to try… for years. This is why I collaborate and co-host with organizations that have a shared interest in curating welcoming trail work events. I believe that fostering welcoming environments encourages people to ask questions and be themselves and that being part of the trail work gives individuals a sense of belonging to the trail and the community. - Monica, Founder of Unruly Women

We will never ask anyone to do any work they're uncomfortable doing, full stop. 

• This is a learning experience! Please ask questions, there’s a good chance you’re not the only one wondering :)

• If there’s something you want to try - - ask! Don’t hesitate to get involved and give it a try!

WHO:

• No experience needed - we love new faces! Familiar faces too!

• All abilities welcome - MORC works with people of all physical abilities

• Female Identifying, Femme and Nonbinary identities

• teenagers are welcome as long as a parent/guardian/teacher/coach over 18 years of age are able to co-sign the waiver

• waiver must be signed in person to participate

WHAT :

• The south downhill project will be enhancing the currently chunky route, making a new smoother route, and pin rocking the heck out of both so riders have to stay on the designated trail.  If time and bodies permit, we'll also rebuild the optional jump/roller at the end of the cement sidewalk and rebuild the massively eroded uphill after the jump.

• We will be hauling boulders, moving jump material, and placing and packing pavers, and....  All of this will be done safely using appropriate techniques, equipment, and teamwork. 

• you are welcome to ride or walk to the site, there will be places to lock up your bike, but keep in mind you will likely be carry tools - but you do you! Whatever makes you feel most comfortable, and this could depend on where we’re working on the trail as to what would make the most sense.

THIS GROUP RIDE IS CANCELLED DUE TO STORM / TRAIL CLOSURES :(

UPDATE 10/10/23 @8AM! : The group ride will begin as early as 5:30pm leaving from the Trailhead building (to get more riding in before dark), we’ll swing back through at 6pm for those who signed up for the initial 6pm start time!

-We will be going to Utepils for the afterparty - because the Trailhead building now closes at 8pm and we won’t be able to have fires outside like I’d initially thought - - because they’ve started their winter hours.

-Utepils has a food truck until 8pm, and alcoholic, non-alcoholic, and THC beverages.

-Bring warmer clothes for afterwards in case we can sit outside by the fire, or in case it’s too busy inside and we can’t find a table! Reach out to me via email or text if you plan on coming - - - so I can keep you updated.

Mountain biking and mountain bike racing are intimidating - especially considering that it’s a male dominated sport.

But, that’s even more reason for more of us to show up and ride. The more of us that are out there riding and supporting each other and ourselves - the better the experience will be and the more women, femme and non-binary individuals will be represented and recognized. We are all deserving of being out there, riding singletrack AND racing.

LET’s SHOW UP + GET UNRULY + let's flood this race with our energy and our stoke, the more the merrier!!!!

(a little birdie told me that they shouldn’t be expecting too many to show up to race…. but that just sounds like motivation to me.. to gather up and show up and have the times of our lives!)

We need to shift our mindsets, remember our worth, and show up and ride and do the things we want to do without fear of judgement and intimidation. Let’s RIDE!!!
