Hey everyone, thanks for tuning into today’s podcast where we are chatting with Wendy Engelberg, the founder of Girlz Gone Riding (GGR) -the biggest women’s MTB group in the country! It is a free mtb group that welcomes women of all levels. The ladies ride everything from cross country, all mountain, and downhill. GGR has 7 chapters across California and Arizona!

GGR also has a yearly downhill event, which is 3 days up in Big Bear. They ride Bear mountain one day, Snow mountain another, and Skypark on another day!  They are a great group of women who empower others on the ride.

The GGR webpage has some amazing resources, such as trail etiquette, MTB ride list, code of conduct, and ride ratings.

Wendy recommends a free MTB clinic that happens on the 1st Saturday of the month at Malibu Creek State Park. It’s a great opportunity to meet new riders or improve your skills
