Join Girls Rock for a first-ever ride on Saturday February 8 (rain date Feb. 9) from the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History (MAH)!

Marking the occasion, we’ll ride with the first-ever female inducted into Mountain Bike Hall-of-Fame, living legend and founder of the Women's Mountain Bike and Tea Society (WOMBATS) Jacquie Phelan.
