RMBT GRRLS
Girls entering grades 6 to 12 are encouraged to join, whether they are experienced racers or brand new to mountain biking.
RMBT is excited to support MCA GRRLS, the Minnesota Cycling Association’s effort to help more girls feel welcome, connected, and confident in mountain biking.
Locally, this may include connecting girls on the team, encouraging new riders, sharing MCA GRRLS opportunities, supporting girls’ team activities, and helping build a strong, welcoming culture for female riders and women volunteers.
Questions or ideas? Contact GRRLS@rochmtb.org.
