International Women's Day Group Mountain Bike Ride or Hike!

About the MTB Ride: For those of you who join us for the MTB ride, expect a fun ride of 5-6 miles and 400 feet of elevation gain at Lula Lake's beautiful Core Preserve. This ride is considered moderately difficult and will have intermediate to advanced terrain. This route combines long climbs, technical rock gardens, and fast singletrack. No rider will be left behind! We will hike down to the base of the famous 110 foot Lula Falls after the ride is complete.

About the Hike: For the ladies that prefer to hike, you will be enjoying a mild hike of about 4-5 miles, starting by the climb up to the bluff to take in the incredible views of the Chattanooga Valley, then will hike down to the base of the famous 110 foot Lula Falls.

Who are the Velo Vixens: The Velo Vixens are a women's specific multi-sport club. Their goal is to bring together women who love the outdoors, sports, friendships and a bit of competition. They look to create a safe space for all ladies from all levels from beginners to advanced.
