Join us for the inaugural Girls Gone Ride & Race Mtn Bike Challenge on Sunday, August 16, 2026 in the smack middle of NY State in Verona, NY at Tilden Hill Farm. This is a female only event, sorry boys! We will establish a 5 mile loop course on the many single track trails within the Tilden Hill wooded property. Twice around for the 10 Mile Ride and 4 times around for the 20 Mile Race. Finisher medals for all finishers (both distances) with awards for Overall and Age Group winners for the 20M Race event. Post race celebration with drink, food and music. Helmets are required. For those of you looking to make it a fun overnight with your friends crew there are wonderful accommodations at Tilden Hill Farm including onsite lodging, tenting as well as RV options. We will add Saturday (Aug 15) activities including light trail riding, yoga and other fun elements if the numbers justify. We'll say that this is a TBD at the moment. More to follow as we move along!
