Come ride and celebrate with us!

Join the MCMBA for an unforgettable Women’s International Ride Day at the brand‑new Legacy Park MTB trails in Northville, MI. We’re kicking off a day dedicated to women who ride—and everyone who loves the joy of being on two wheels.

This FREE event is all about community, confidence, and fun. Whether you’re brand new to mountain biking or a seasoned shredder, Legacy Park’s three unique trail sections mean there’s a perfect group ride waiting for you. Bring your friends, bring your stoke, and let’s roll.

This is an event to celebrate women who ride but we welcome riders of all ages and backgrounds; kids are invited too, as long as they’re accompanied by an adult. All we ask is that everyone respects the space, the pace, and the spirit of the day—lifting up and celebrating the incredible women in our riding community.

Bonus perks:

• Free swag for all our women riders (sorry fellas—this one’s for the ladies!)

• On‑site support from local bike shops

• Local businesses and vendors to explore between rides

• Free breakfast provided by Trek of Walled Lake (show up early as this isn't Timmie's or Dunkin- we're talking freshly cooked eggs, bacon, pancakes and burritos!!)

-Free lunch provided by Clever Fox Cyclery (burgers, hotdogs, veggie options)

-There will be coffee truck on site, Foster's Roasters, coffee beverages for purchase.

Want to level up your skills? Stick around for our optional paid add‑on clinic in the afternoon. You’ll get hands‑on coaching in small groups, covering essential bike‑handling techniques with guidance from four BICP‑certified coaches. We will start the clinic with fundamental skills and then move to specific skills, such as Jumps, Drops, Berms and Advanced Cornering. (Clinics are for female riders only)

Come for the trails, stay for the vibes. Let’s make this a day full of connection, empowerment, and pure riding joy.
