Mountain Biking Events
Mountain biking is one of those activities that looks like great fun, but can feel inaccessible when you don’t have the equipment nor the experience to give it a go. Our mountain biking sessions are here to change that: we provide all the equipment and teach you the basics, so you can join in on the fun. Check out the sessions we have available below:
Cathkin Braes Mountain Biking
Sunday 29 November, 10am-2pm
Join us for a fun and supportive session of mountain biking on the trails at Cathkin Braes. This session is perfect for those who feel confident on a bike or have been off-road cycling before. The session will involve some games and skills and a led ride on some of the trails.
The session is led by a qualified and experienced mountain biking coach and bikes and helmets will be provided if needed or you are welcome to bring your own.
Please note that if you are using a Women on Wheels mountain bike then a fairly good level of fitness is required to cycle the bike up to Cathkin Braes from the Hub (roughly 45 minutes) but you get to enjoy freewheeling back down after (roughly 15 minutes!). This route is mainly cycle paths and quiet roads and will be led by a Women on Wheels ride leader.
If you have any questions then please email Holly at women@womeonwheels.org.uk
Pay what you can £20-50

This session is for women and non-binary people. We welcome all women (cis, trans, intersex) and non-binary people to our activities, events and services.
Tuesday 24 November, 6-8pm
Yoga - Move
First Monday of each month. Next session is 7 December, 6-7pm
A joyful community embodied yoga flow organised and led by the lovely Gemma - an experienced yoga instructor and cycle trainer.
A bit about the practice:
Beginner friendly embodied movement to feel alive
Expect fun, intuitive, curious, playful and authentic movement. Weaving movement, meditation, visualisation and pranayama (breath practice).
Come as you are, to just be and to trust what wants to move through you.
What to bring:
Yourself, a mat (yoga or otherwise, or even a towel) and comfy clothes which are easy to move in. Layers are great to help keep warm in moments of stillness and cooler through movement.
Pay-as-you-can scale available. Please note, the session is not organised by Women On Wheels, but is hosted at our premises. 20% of proceeds from each booking is donated to Women on Wheels.
