Our Mission is to provide all types of opportunities for women mountain bikers, from beginners to experts. The Dirt Divas are a mountain biking club for women of all ages and skill levels who share an enthusiasm for mountain biking and cycling. We make it easier to find compatible women riders by scheduling group rides and events. With fun and fitness in mind, Dirt Diva rides encourage a safe and supportive environment for women who ride the trails. We also strive to protect our environment by participating in regular trail maintenance and our involvement in the community with bicycling advocacy. The sound of "Wa-hoo" echoing through the woods implies your adventure with the Dirt Divas has just begun... Riding Categories by Experience Beginner: This group is designed for someone with limited experience riding single track trails, has been riding for less than a year, does not ride very often or frequently walks sections of trail due to technical ability. This group always has a ride leader and the pace is slower with opportunities to work on trail obstacles. There are frequent stops and plenty of time to re-group and catch your breath. Intermediate: This group has a group leader and rides at a moderate pace. There are fewer stops, but the group will stop occasionally to re-group. This is the group for people who have been riding for a couple of years or have been riding consistently and have the technical skills to ride most of the trail obstacles on trails. Advanced: This group has a leader, and the pace is moderate to fast. There are few stops. The group will stop at any trail intersections or between laps (depending on the trail) so nobody gets lost or left behind. Generally, the riders in this group are technically competent and aerobically fit.
