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:
Balfron Mountain Bike Day Trip
Sunday 4 October, 9am-4pm
Join us for a day of mountain biking (MTB) at Endura LifeCycle Trust in Balfron. Suitable for women who have never been mountain biking before but you must be able to ride a bike competently. The session will include coaching and a ride through the beautiful trails. Bikes and helmets are provided.
One hour travel each way, 4 hours of mountain biking and 30 mins for lunch. For women aged 16+ only. Transport is not included but we will set up a WhatsApp group the week before the session to organise lift shares so we can take as few cars as possible.
Pay what you can £25-60
Social Events
Yoga - Move
Last Monday of each month. Next session is 28 September, 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.
Ride Bright Craft Night
Join us for a cosy evening in the Women on Wheels hub where we'll get our craft on. We're thinking banners, sashes, hi-vis accessories and more for ourselves and our bikes... maybe sparkly handlebar tassels? Whether you're coming to Ride Bright on 7th November or just fancy crafting with us, come along.
We'll provide craft materials and refreshments, please do bring craft materials along with you if you have them. The brighter and shinier, the better!
Tuesday 28 September, 6-7pm

October Holiday Cycling Club
Wednesday 14 October, 9.45am-1pm
These October holidays, join a fun cycling session for kids and teen girls (boys 6-16, girls 6-16). Unlike our Families Cycling Sessions this session is for kids and young people only. Learning alongside your kids and doing activities together is amazing, but we also recognise how valuable it is to have a little bit of time on your own - all with the comfort of knowing your kids and teen girls are learning and having the best time.
The programme is suitable for kids/young people of all cycling abilities from being completely brand new to cycling or confident cyclists looking to connect with likeminded peers.
The sessions are tailored to the following age groups:
🚲 Ages 6–8
🚲 Ages 9–11
🚲 Teen girls aged 12–16
The session is pay as you can £15-30 per child/young person. Please get in touch on families@womenonwheels.org.uk if the cost is a barrier to you.
