Welcome

Hard to believe that its just about summer already. It seems like just yesterday that we were ringing in the new year. The Luna Chix had a great winter and spring capped off with Alison Dunlap's visit for our annual clinic and Sedona ride. We had an amazing turnout for both events! If you missed Alison's visit this year you should definitely check it out next year. Thanks to Alison for making the trip from Colorado. Also a HUGE thanks to the Bike and Bean in Sedona for hosting our annual ride. They completely take care of us from stopping traffic so we can get all our riders safely across the highway, to an awesome BBQ and a generous donation to the Breast Cancer Fund. Given summer is upon us our rides we be getting earlier and earlier but don't let that stop you, please join us. We look forward to seeing you soon! Have a great summer!

Intermediate mountain bike riding skills, including but not limited to feathered braking, shifting on-the-fly while ascending and descending moderate or loose inclines, and the ability to avoid or negotiate moderate obstacles and drops, are required. These groups rides are usually 90 minutes to over two hours. A moderate level of fitness is required to complete the trail. Breaks and discussions of riding techniques are infrequent.

Expect few rest breaks and only occasional discussions of approaches to technical challenges. This is the group that goes FAST and HARD!!
