Join Ladies AllRide for empowering mountain bike skills clinics exclusively for women on the stunning trails of Bend, Oregon. Don't miss out, reserve your spot now!
These camps are hosted at Seventh Mountain Resort where we work on perfecting skills in small groups using a large grassy area, a mountain bike-specific skills center, dirt jumps, a giant berm, small drops, a pump track and cross-country style trails nearby. Each afternoon we shuttle or ride to nearby cross-country trails for fun shred-sessions! Whoo hoo!
We have also added an optional 1/2 day coach guided tour (9am-1pm) the day after camp ends to put all of your new skills to practice! This will be an additional fee if interested. Be prepared to pedal 18 miles (+/- a couple of miles) with around 1000 feet of climbing on the ride. This will be an intermediate ride.
Bend, OR is an outdoor enthusiast's dream. We love living in Bend for its outdoor pursuits, laid-back vibe, pristine beauty, sun-drenched days and cool nights. The mountain bike trails are flowy and fun. You can't help but smile on some of the long swooping downhills with corners, rollers and berms galore. A handful of trails have great jumps, the few lava rock gardens are challenging and great technical practice and the views on the upper trails are spectacular. The best thing about Bend is the easy access to so many trails nearby, yet you're deep in the woods away from it all. Plus, with around 20 breweries (our favorite is Deschutes Brewery) and a plethora of local coffee goodness, it's easy to wind up or wind down in this outdoor mecca.
E-bikes are allowed on some Bend trails.

This is a “cross-country” focused camp with pedaling up and descending down fun, well-built trails with some rocks and lots of corners.
The dirt in Bend is volcanic powder so one of the main challenges is managing the loose corners. Our venue has some great skill-building areas including a small jump zone for more advanced riders to try catching a little air. This camp is great for all levels of riders, especially newer riders because the trail system is fairly mellow (meaning not super steep or technical) with some fun rock sections and big rock up-and-overs to navigate. There will be an ample amount of pedaling so it is advised to have a little base fitness and stamina for the weekend, keeping in mind the trail sessions are not “hammer-fests” because we stop frequently to practice on challenging features.
You can also join us for a 1/2 day coach guided tour (9am-1pm) the day after camp ends to put those new skills to practice! Be prepared to pedal 18 miles (+/- a couple of miles) with around 1000 feet of climbing on the ride. This will be an intermediate ride at an additional cost if interested.
*Note, if you are an advanced rider who has specific goals like “bigger jumps or drops or gap jumps” we suggest taking a private lesson with one of our coaches at a location that caters to bigger jumps and drops. Email info@gritclinics.com for more info.

A well-tuned, modern mountain bike with disc brakes that is the proper size for you. We suggest a dual-suspension cross-country or all-mountain bike for a more comfortable ride, but front suspension only bikes work fine. Your bike should not have a kickstand on it.

"Learning how to mountain bike has been one of the most empowering experiences of my life. It has taught me that I am physically and emotionally strong, that I have the mental and emotional fortitude to do intimidating things, and it has shown me that I am capable of evolving indefinitely. LAR celebrated all of those things and gave me the skills to keep progressing."
