Saturday July 12 9:00 a.m.	ARR Monthly Meeting and Time Trial with Ride Like A Girl Reimers Ranch	This is an opportunity to learn new trails, new skills, build confidence, and meet other folks to ride with. Riders will divide up into groups based on skills and ability levels. The trail system at Reimers has a little something for everybody – smooth, twisty single track, rocky ledges, grueling climbs and screaming downhill runs. The trails are well marked and allow you to choose a route that best suits your interests. The time trial will start at 9am, with group rides heading out after the racers. Prizes and gift certificates from our sponsors will be raffled after the ride. To get there, take Highway 71 West to the first light after the 620 intersection - this will be Hamilton Pool Road, also known as TX3238. Turn left onto Hamilton Pool Road and go approximately 11.7 miles. If you get to Hamilton Pool you've gone too far. Watch for the turn for Reimers Ranch on the right. Land use fees are $8.00 per vehicle. Carpooling is encouraged.

Suitable, safe off-road bikes appropriate for the terrain are required. The rides are not supported in any way so bring your own water, food, and appropriate gear and clothes.
