The Women’s social ride includes: all women* (both cis and trans), non-binary, gender non confirming people, LGBTQI+, people of colour, and ages. These rides focus on creating a supportive, inclusive and encouraging environment, connecting with other women and spending time in our beautiful local surrounds. Teen girls who are confident intermediate mountain bikers are also welcome to join us.
On Sunday 24th March will sample the Pineys trails in Castlemaine, on Dja Dja Wurrung Country. Assemble at the Theatre Royale for a 9am start time.
Catered for intermediate skill level riders, we will ride for approximately 1.5 hours. There will be a “no drop” policy – no one will be left behind. There will be an option to follow the ride with a catch up at a local café. Women with advanced mountain biking experience are welcome to come along to contribute to the supportive environment.
Please note this is not a skills clinic and riders must be self-sufficient with food, water and spares. You must have a well maintained mountain bike and well fitted helmet that meets Australian standards.
A Rocky Riders (or other AusCycling) membership is recommended so you are covered by insurance while riding. Riders without an Auscycling membership, do so at their own discretion. If you are not in a position to sign up for a full membership the AusCycling 4 Week Free Trial could be an alternative option to cover you or you can take out a Auscycling Lifestyle Membership for the month for $9.00.
