Shifting Gears’ Mountain Biking programs are weekly group rides with an inclusive space to explore mountain biking on the lovely local trails of Bellingham. We practice skills, familiarize ourselves with trails, meet new ride friends, and have fun! We are excited to offer this Demo Day with Transition in April this year.
Where: We’ll explore the beautiful trails of Galbraith Mountain together! This ride will meet at Transition Outpost for our Demo Day.
Who: The rides are for all women (cis, queer, trans) ages 18+, regardless of riding experience, body size, and biking anxiety. With a maximum of 8 riders plus two Shifting Gears Leaders in each group, it is a no-drop ride, and we will focus on having fun and supporting each other.
Ride Levels: Please review ROAM Fest Skill Levels to determine your skill rating. Our rides are no-drop, and we always go at a steady and chill pace. That being said, our Beginner Rides are considered for Levels 2 and 3, while our Intermediate Rides are for Levels 4 and 5. You'll register in advance for your preferred group.
This is an early season ride. Come prepared for variable weather! Our official weekly mountain bike rides will start on May 11.
