Tuesday Night Women's+ Ride at Wakefield
This is the women's+ night ride at Wakefield Park in Annandale, Virginia. Brought to you by MORE.

Ride Leaders
Kathy and Simona

Location
Wakefield Park, Annandale, VA

Schedule
Meet up at 6:30 in the last parking lot. Park in the last parking lot. After you turn into the parking lot, make an immediate right and park (across from the purple recycling bin). We meet there prior to the ride.

All riders joining this ride will need to accept the standard MORE liability waiver form.
Wheels down at 6:45pm
Ride will be about 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on the group. The ride leader(s) will try to start as promptly as possible.

Bring: Trail-ready mountain bike, helmet, tube, and water. Optional: Tools, gloves, snacks, and lights. We will need lights this time of year.

Pace
Casual to moderate pace depending on the group. This is a no-drop ride. (A drop is leaving someone behind who is slower than the group. We won't do that - but if you feel like you are not able to keep up, please let the ride leader know.) All riding abilities are welcome, but it is recommended riders have a few off-road rides under their belts first.

Terrain
Wakefield is generally considered easier to intermediate by most riders. There are a few small stream crossings and some log obstacles. Riders should use good judgment and dismount when in doubt. The ride will typically consist of a mix of single track, fire roads, and other trail sections in the park.

Weather
To protect and maintain the trails, the ride will be canceled if weather conditions warrant. Information on closures will be posted here.

Wed, Apr 30, 2025, 6:00 PM EDTMt Vernon District Park Casual WTFNB (Women+) Ride
Martha Washington Library, Alexandria, VA
Mt Vernon District Park Casual WTFNB (Women+) Ride
Ride is open to anyone women, trans, femme, non-binary (WTFNB).

Sign up for this ride through Golden Volunteer at this link: https://x.gldn.io/e/KhgtN8HTRRb

Participants must sign a waiver through Golden Volunteer and wear a helmet. No need to RSVP through Meetup.

Ride will last approximately one hour and we will cover 3-5 miles with about 300-400 feet of climbing (the trails are on a hill, so probably 2-3 trips up the hill, which also means 2-3 trips down the hill!), stopping to session small obstacles and regroup when necessary.

This ride is ideal for those new to mountain biking, getting back into riding after a few years away, or those looking to get back in shape after a winter off the bike. While this ride is great for beginner mountain bikers, we do recommend having 2-3 off-road rides prior to attending to ensure you are comfortable handling your bike on dirt. The terrain is dirt, with some roots and loose gravel in places. There are some logs, rock gardens, jumps, and wood features, all with easy options to ride around.

Meet at 6, wheels down at 6:15.

UPDATED MEETING LOCATION: Due to construction at the ReCenter, we will be meeting at the Martha Washington Library. Meet in the back of the parking lot. https://goo.gl/maps/Z4ra9eoiGgEqz5rLA

Ride will take place weekly on Wednesdays in April. Attend one week, some weeks, or every week.

Ride will be canceled due to inclement weather or wet trails.

Sponsored by MORE and The Bike Lane.
