It's what we look forward to each month...a Girls Rock ride!

Join us for a day of sunshine, singletrack, and smiles as we hit the beautiful Santa Cruz mountain trails together! Meet other rad women riders, move your body, and wrap it all up with tasty eats and cold drinks at Venus Spirits Westside.

Oh, and did we mention raffle prizes? Yep, those too!

Whether you're new to the trail or a seasoned shredder, all levels are welcome and registration is always FREE.

Our ride crew will help you pick the perfect route, so the only thing you need to focus on is having a blast!

Ride Levels:

At registration, you will be asked for your ride level. See Riding Levels OR, take our Ride Level survey.

IMPORTANT: If you are new to Girls Rock, we encourage our 1st Time Riders group. Select a level down from what you might ride, then level up at our next ride.

If you are a guide, you must select a level down from what you normally ride. Girls Rock rides are designed for a social pace, which should be easy for all. Please do not try to push yourself at a Girls Rock ride. Fatigue can be a factor that leads to injury, and we strive to keep all riders and volunteers safe.
