Women’s Weekend MTB Clinic North

Presented By:

Registration Coming Soon (Late October)

Get Ready to Ride: CAMBA Women's Mountain Bike Clinic North. Picture it — a full weekend on some of the most beautiful singletrack in the Midwest. The CAMBA Women's Mountain Bike Clinic North is your chance to learn, build confidence, have an absolute blast, and soak up the wilderness trails of the Mt. Ashwabay trail cluster, all set in the stunning Chequamegon Bay area of Northern Wisconsin.

You'll ride with regionally certified coaches who know exactly how to help beginner, intermediate, and advanced riders level up — building confidence on your bike and sharpening your skills where it counts. Open to anyone identifying as a woman mountain biker, 16 and over. All skill levels welcome.

Not sure where you fit? Don't sweat it. We send a quick pre-clinic survey to every participant, and our coaching staff uses your answers to place you with the group that's perfect for you.

Beginner riders: master essential bike-handling skills for riding singletrack and overall mountain biking techniques.
Advanced riders: revisit the fundamentals and build on them across the demanding Mt. Ashwabay trails.

Heads up: this weekend is all about skills and confidence in a supportive space — not about racking up the most miles. We're here to grow, not to race. And the perks? Every participant gets swag, meals, and snacks all weekend long. So come experience the trails, the excellent food, the sweetest swag, and more fun than you can shake a stick at. Your spot is waiting — let's ride.

Please see the tentative schedule below. This schedule is subject to change, and we will notify all participants if anything changes. Email Laurie at lwoodbury@cambatrails.org with any questions.
