Chicks in the Sticks is all about getting women out riding mountain bikes!

It is a supportive, fun and no-pressure environment where women of all ages and all experiences levels can have a great time in the great outdoors.

Although not a race day in 2020, we still want make sure there is a guided-ride for everyone so ride categories will be based on experience level.
