HillJillys Road Ride:
Saturday, March 27th, 9:30am
We're moving down south for this week's HillJillys ride, and heading out on the road from Helen Putnam Park in Petaluma. Meet on Saturday at 9:30am.
Appropriately enough, Jill will lead Saturday's HillJillys ride--it's her first time out as ride leader, and she's super excited. It'll be about 22 miles, with rolling hills and a couple of not-too-steep climbs. RSVPs appreciated. Note: like all our regional parks, there's a fee to park at Helen Putnam. Bring $6, or ride to the start!
These are no-drop rides: beginner-friendly, everyone welcome, and no one left behind! (Rain cancels.)

HillJillys MTB Ride:
Boggs! Saturday, March 20th, 10:00am
In preparation for Boggs V the first weekend of April, Cheryl is leading a HillJillys preride up at Cobb Mountain this weekend. If you've never tasted the sweet singletrack that crisscrosses the Boggs State Demonstration Forest, you're in for a real treat.
Carpooling is in order for this lil' adventure, so RSVPs are a good idea for putting together rideshares. The group will meet in the first Boggs parking area on Saturday, March 20th, for a 10am ride start (and carpools will prolly meet around 8:30am in the Sonoma County environs). While all HillJillys rides are no-drop and Boggs is pretty gentle for the newbies, the pace and amount of singletrack will make this one an intermediate level ride. Be sure you're comfortable on the sweet & narrow and have at least a wee bit of fitness under your belt. And Boggs is a fair bit higher up, so be prepared for cooler temperatures.

HillJillys Road Ride:
Saturday, March 13th, 9:30am
Spring is in the air, fo' sho'! Our bucolic backroads are calling, as is our fave bakery stop in Freestone. Pull out the skinny tires for a lil' west county road excursion.
Meet at the Wild Flour Bakery in Freestone on Saturday, March 13th, at 9:30am. (Come early with some cash for one of their tasty scones.) Kate will lead us out towards Occidental, Graton, and then back via Harrison Grade. The goal is fun, not speed--but be prepared for a steep climb up Harrison Grade. RSVPs appreciated.
