Autumn Ride Club
Ride Club is for beginner-intermediate women mountain bikers who want to ride regularly in a supported trail ride, and continue to develop skills along the way.
Have you done a Foundational Skills Series and want to consolidate those skills and progress your riding?
Do you want to ride with others that are at the same/similar skill level and not worry that you’re holding others back?
Do you want to build your confidence, fitness and skills on trails?
Do you want to session the tricky bits on trails so you can stop getting off and walking?
Do you want to keep your momentum and need some motivation?
Do you want to be part of a friendly, supportive, female mtb community?
Do you want to get familiar with and learn to ride the trails at Stromlo?
Do you want to meet some other women to ride with?
Join us for Autumn Ride Club!
Who this isn’t for:
-Beginners who have never done a skills clinic
-Riders who don’t want to progress any skills
-Riders who are already comfortable with the skills they have and aren’t looking to improve
-Riders who want a high intensity work out
-Strong intermediate or advanced riders who want to be challenged
-Riders who can’t yet manage riding at least 5km of undulating terrain over 90mins.
The details:
This program runs from March 1st through to May 31st, a total of 13 weeks.
-6 × 1hr 45min guided Social+Skills ride on mtb trails and fire trails at Stromlo Forest Park (with one ride at Bruce Ridge) with a focus on specific skills from previous weeks.
