Girls of Gravity is here for riders ready to push past comfort zones and into more technical terrain—with confidence, support, and a whole lot of fun. Our intermediate-level rides are all about progression, flow, and learning to handle more challenging features with skill and style. And you’ll be doing it alongside a crew of like-minded women who’ve got your back, every turn of the trail.

We’re not here to race—we’re here to ride hard, laugh harder, and cheer each other on through every rocky section and tight switchback.

• 500 - 600m Elevation

• Anywhere from 15-25km for our average ride

• 14km Climbing (Yes! 14kms)
