GIRLS RIDING TOGETHER

Community. Leadership. Empowerment. Fun!

Girls Riding Together (GRiT) creates a welcoming environment for girls and women in mountain biking by building communities that invite them in, keep them involved, and instill excitement to be cyclists for life.

GRiT Opportunties

Camps & Clinics bring female student-athletes and coaches together to learn and practice foundational and progressive bike skills in an inviting environment.

Local Dirts allow female athletes and coaches from neighboring teams to strengthen regional connections and community through competitive and adventure-based rides and activities.

Adventure Rides are for exploring adventure courses and trail systems while creating lasting memories.

Tent Activities offer space to hang out, build friendships, get silly or creative, and recharge.

GRiT Coaches are designated by teams in Pit Zone. They help champion and support GRiT efforts on their team and among neighboring teams. This might look like monthly girls-only practices or planning an all ladies adventure ride with other area student-athletes and coaches.

Our female student-athletes are full of ideas and love to get the ball rolling. GRiT Coaches provide support, encouragement and oversight.

For more information, contact GRiT.
