Dirt Girls is back for 2025! 

Our season starter ride is May 27 – please continue to check this page for update locations of our group rides!

Medicine Chest Dirt Girls welcomes all riders who identify as women, trans or non-binary. We do not police gender here and want to promote inclusion in mountain biking. If a female empowered space feels meaningful to you, you are welcome here. Medicine Chest Dirt Girl rides are meant to be fun and supportive. They are a great way to meet other riders and learn local trails. A CMBC membership is required to attend these events and you will need to bring this number to each ride.

We are active on the Dirt Girls Facebook Group to share fun trail routes you might like to try and so you can connect with other Dirt Girls!

Huge thanks to Medicine Chest for sponsoring Dirt Girls! 

HOW IT WORKS

Every week we ride a new trail (or trails). From the trailhead meeting spot we split up into 3 groups – All skill levels are welcome, rides are led by volunteers who also have a range of skills. Rides are typically divided into 3 groups:

    1. Beginner – Very chill, new riders, beginners and anyone who wants a slower pace.
    2. Intermediate – New riders and anyone who’s ready for a quicker pace.
    3. Advanced – Riders who like to go fast and those looking for a challenge.
  • Switching between groups can happen week to week depending on who is leading and how you as a rider are feeling on any particular day. Rides average 1h40min in length.
  • No rider is ever left behind! Each group stays together during the entire ride.
  • As the season goes on, the groups tend to merge and evolve, especially when we start riding more advanced trails towards the end of the summer. If you are joining in mid-season have no fear, with the 3 levels always running each week, you will be able to keep up!
  • All rides start at 7:00pm unless otherwise noted, and run on Tuesday evenings. Please arrive early to signup (you will need your CMBC #) and go over safety protocols.
  • No special gear is needed for Dirt Girls but all riders are required to wear a helmet. Any type of mountain bike in good working order will work for Dirt Girls.
  • We do recommend bringing water, snacks, first-aid kit, layers and bear spray!
  • “Leaders” not “Coaches” – These group rides are not lessons and your leaders are not coaches.
  • This is a community based women’s summer riding group and our priorities are safety and fun!

SPECIFIC TRAIL ROUTES AND MEETING SPOTS

We post these details to the Dirt Girls Facebook Group each week, so join the group for all the details! New this year we will post on our website calendar (for those getting off social media).

  • Schedule – Rides start as soon as some trails are dry and continue into the beginning of September. Rides start at 7:00pm. Arrive early to sign in and so we can get divided into ride groups. 
  • We’ll post the upcoming weekly ride details here on our Facebook page as well as the website (for those getting off social media).
  • We ride rain or shine but leaders will make a call to cancel the ride if conditions are looking unsafe (i.e. a thunderstorm).

NOTES

  • Dirt Dogs – Although we love riding with our four legged pals we do ask that pups stay home.
  • We are always looking for riders who would like to be LEADERS. If you are confident navigating the trails, and have a favourite loop you’d like to share, please email us or respond to our recruitment calls on the Dirt Girls Facebook Group.
  • Reminder: If you want to group ride with the club you need to be a CMBC Member. PLEASE bring your membership number to each ride!
