In an effort to reach out to women riders of all levels and abilities seeking to bring their riding to the next level, GB NEMBA and Highland Mountain Bike Park invite you to join us in a women-helping-women trail series focused on fundamental skill building as a means to realize our potential as riders in the northeast.

The series kicks off with the beginner in mind but as the season progresses incorporates more challenging terrain geared toward the intermediate/advanced riders of our community. In the spirit of the event, more advanced riders are encouraged to participate in rides geared toward less experienced.

At least two Pro/Expert local riders, Karen Eagan, Alexis Wruble, Kate Parhiala and/or Kate Walton will be at each event to guide the ride. Emily Thibodeau, owner of Hub Bicycles, will be along to sweep and wrench as needed. MTB Patrol women will be along to patch anyone up who needs it.

Rides begin at 10 am with a basic skills review and wrap up around 12 pm (weather dependant).
