Want to sharpen up your MTB Skills? An MTB Skills Clinic just for women!

Chicks Who Ride Bikes, Brisbane's largest grassroots women's cycling community, has teamed up with our friends at rideTECHNICS to host this MTB Skills Sesh, just for women.

Grab your bike and a friend or two, and join the revolution of off-road riding – all while supporting a good cause!

March 26 is PURPLE DAY - a global initiative dedicated to raising epilepsy awareness, dispelling myths, and increasing support for people living with epilepsy. Proceeds from this event will be donated to Epilepsy Action Australia. Wearing purple is encouraged!
