NSRIDE
WOMEN ONLY
GUIDED RIDES
NSRide is the North Shore’s largest mountain biking club, run by a dedicated group of volunteers to provide its members a supportive and social network for mountain biking.
As an inclusive club, our goal is to welcome new riders and motivate existing riders by providing an organized program of guided group rides, led by qualified ride leaders in a safe and fun environment.
In addition to offering co-ed group rides, the club has always been committed to providing a safe, guided ride option for women members who would prefer to ride with other women members only.
What our Women Only Rides Offer
In addition to the club’s weekly co-ed group rides, NSRide also offers weekly rides for women only, led by women ride leaders. Our women only rides have always been a place where women can improve their skills and fitness, while enjoying our beautiful West Coast forests and our legendary North Shore mountain bike trails.
If women only rides appeal to you, we encourage you to come out to one of our Tuesday women only rides.
