All clinics are officially sold out and our first three have been awesome!
Despite pouring rain at every single location, our first three clinics in Florida, Arizona and California have been super fun and successful. It was great to see all the brave women getting rad on their bikes without worrying about the rain! We witnessed so many life-changing "ah-ha" moments combined with perseverance and cheers of accomplishment. Along with teaching women how to be confident and controlled on their bikes, we provide a place for them to tell their stories of how mountain biking has affected their lives. We always hear great stories, we see new friendships blossom and we are witnessing the community of strong, supportive female mountain bikers growing right before our eyes! We also have the best team in place to make these events magical and couldn't do it without the support of amazing coaches, sponsors, the shops in each community and eager volunteers. Thank you!

Ocala, Florida - Santos Trails
We had such a great time teaching in Florida. Thanks to Santos Trailhead bike shop, Ray Petro (Famous trail/feature builder from Ray's Indoor Mountain Bike Park) and the Ocala Mountain Bike Association for making us feel so welcome!

Sedona, Arizona
We love teaching in Sedona. The red rock provides so many natural features to play and learn on. Posse Grounds Park and the Verde Valley school are great teaching venues with awesome trails nearby and the Bike and Bean host shop catered to our every whim and more! Thanks Sedona! - Photos below: Jordan Reece

Marin County, California
One of our favorite things about what we do is the people we meet and bond with! Marin was our most logistically challenging event yet and we couldn't have done it without the help of this awesome community! Carolyn and Aaron from Bicycle Brustop in Novato hosted us in their home and at their shop which made the weekend that much better! We also had great volunteers from the local Liv-chix chapter and they were all amazing! Thank you birthplace of mountain biking! We did it! Big thanks to our photographer: Jason Todd

We are so thankful for our local Bend, OR mountain bike tour company Cog Wild, for letting us take two shuttle vans down to Marin. Thanks to Meredith's incredible organizational skills, our team of coaches from Bend and the vans from Cog Wild, the event went off without a hitch! YES!

Sea Otter Classic
It was Lindsey's 14th Sea Otter Classic and she was excited to share this one with her Ladies AllRide partners, Meredith and Summer. They shot promotional videos for Vittoria, taught free clinics with Rebecca Rusch and her SRAM Gold Rusch Tour, where they also sat on the lady-panel at the SRAM Ladies Lounge, and taught a free skills session for Liv. Good times!

Top: Meredith, Lindsey and Summer get silly with the Pinkbike cameras. They did a quick video about climbing techniques with sponsor Vittoria tires for Pinkbike.
Top Left: Wheelie fun! The girls also did a wheelie lesson with Vittoria Tires for MTBR.com. It should be a pretty funny video! Summer sacrificed her body to show ladies what NOT to do.
Top Right: Rebecca Rusch leads the charge connecting women in this industry. She has been a mentor and hero of Lindsey's for a long time and we are always happy to help with her free events!

Lindsey stopped in Prescott, Arizona to join the Epic Rides crew who host a great series of endurance off-road events like the 24 hours of Old Pueblo, the Whiskey Off-Road, Grand Junction Off-Road, Carson City Off-Road and the Tour of the White Mountains. We are learning that many long-distance riders need to work on handling skills so it made sense to cross-promote our clinics with their events, not to mention Lindsey had a blast riding with them all weekend in Prescott!

Lindsey stopped in Santa Cruz, CA for a quick CAMELBAK photoshoot

CAMELBAK has long been a supporter of Lindsey's mission to get more women on bikes. She loved shooting their new women's pack with one of her favorite photographers, Forrest Arakawa in Santa Cruz, CA.
