Join us for one of our fun, and informative bikepacking and gravel clinics this fall. Experienced women guides help you learn about equipment, navigation and safety, and cycling with gear. Choose between bikepacking in Simcoe County and gravel riding in Haliburton. This is the year to have some fun off-the-beaten-track adventures on your bike, and gain the confidence to be independent for next season.

No previous camping or bikepacking is required for these clinics.  Women with a range of cycling and camping levels are welcome. You may have done some gravel riding but would like to learn about navigation and cycling with camping gear. Maybe you are an experienced camper but  have never combined the experience with cycling. These small group trips and clinics will provide everyone with some one-on-one time with our guides to make sure you get the most out of the experience. Ahead of the trip departure, we will be in touch to learn your expectations and plan accordingly.
