WHAT TO
EXPECT ON A
GRIT GRRRLS RIDE

Get ready to roll with Grit Grrrls, where off-road escapades are more than just trails – they’re about forging friendships and embracing adventure!

 

Here’s what you need to know:

 

Social ride:

Our rides are social rides and not guided or instructed, this does mean you will be responsible for yourself and your bike. However, we will pull together if anyone needs help, no-one will ever be left behind.

 

Diverse Terrains:

Conquer gravel, canal paths, river trails, and maybe even a forest or two! Bumpy surfaces? No problem. We mix it up with varied routes, from smooth rides to fun mountain bike adventures.

 

Choose Your Ride:

Whether you fancy a short spin or a longer journey, we’ve got rides for all levels. As we grow as a community, the variety of rides will grow too.

 

Fuel Breaks with a Side of Cake:

Coffee and cake pit stops are a must. We refuel, chat, and maybe indulge in a bit of dessert therapy.

 

The Vibe: Fun, Friendly, and Welcoming:

No one gets left behind—it’s all about the joy of riding together. Our rides are more than cycling; they’re a social affair. Expect a friendly vibe, welcoming faces, many riders come solo and leave with new friends.

 

No-Frills, No-Stress Gear:

If you’re starting on your cycling journey, there’s no need for fancy gear – just grab your bike, helmet, comfy threads, and add a dash of cycling enthusiasm. Hopefully you’ll love it and that’s where we can help advise on the right gear to have and where to start.

 

Traffic-Free and Non-Competitive:

Our rides are a haven of fun and non-competitive spirit. Mostly traffic-free, we offer a welcoming space for women to embrace the joys of off-road cycling together.

 

With Grit Grrrls you will discover the fun of off-road cycling, leaving with a shared sense of accomplishment and a handful of new friends.

 

Inclusivity Note:

While Grit Grrrls focuses on empowering cis, trans women and non-binary individuals in the cycling world, we get that families and support systems are diverse. We’re all about breaking down cycling barriers and fostering equality, but we want to make it clear – everyone is welcome here.

 

If you’re a male chaperone supporting younger riders, you’re part of the crew too. Our mission is rooted in empowering women, but our inclusive spirit extends to acknowledging the varied dynamics that make up families.

 

So, whether you’re a woman tackling the off-road or a supportive male figure joining the ride, Grit Grrrls is a space where wheels turn, and everyone is welcome to roll along.

Thank you for being a part of the Grit Grrrls community. Let’s ride together and pave the way for a modern-day revolution in women’s cycling.
