Good Morning Ladies
Its August and monsoon season. Which means that the days are going to be hot and moggie. Remember to drink about 8 glasses of water each day, or at least eat some sort of water fruit each day. such as watermelon, cantaloupe, grapes and/or Kiwi.
We will have a guess speaker joining us on August 13, she will cover the proper nutrition to fuel our body in order to continue to enjoy the sports we Love.
There are only a few spots left for the overnight stay at the cabin, so please sign up if you would like to stay overnight. The ride and dinner is open to everyone, but once all the sleeping spots are taken. you will have to supply you own accommodations for the night.

This Saturday Ladies Only bike ride Around South Mountain
Good Morning Ladies
This Saturday we are meeting at 5 am in the lower parking lot at South Mountain(Turn left just after you pass the first guard shack and park in the lot on your left). We will ride east on baseline up through Awhatukee down 40th street to Maricopa rd. from which we will continue Around South Mountain. This is a SAG supported ride so do chime in. I rather have to much supplies than not enough.
Eat a good dinner and a light breakfast. Bring at least 2 water bottles and/or a camelpack. Prep yourself by drinking plenty of fluids or eating plenty of water fruits...ie watermelon, cantaloupe, grapes or kiwi. Prep your water bottles by filling them 3/4 and placing them in the freezer on a slant. Top them off saturday morning.
If you are finding the heat is a bit much, you can purchase the cooling scarves at any sporting store or the cooling sleeves at Tribe or any bike shop. I find that a wet cloth works also.
Have a great week & ill see you Saturday
LaVerne
602-565-1839
Direction from any where in the Valley: Find Central and head south. Central will take you right up into the mountain.. If you are coming from Phx central will zigzag you through down town. so I would either take 7th street and head west on baseline to central south.. Or take 7th ave and head east on baseline to central south.
If you get lost call me. But...Please give yourself plenty of time to get lost. wheels will be down at 5:15am
