What to Expect:
This is a social ride for anyone above absolute beginner level, with Leeds Urban Bike Park offering an exceptional mix of technical obstacles, jumps and flow trails.
This is a social ride for anyone above beginner level and it’s worth noting that we will not necessarily stick to the easiest trails on the hill, we will explore whatever the group wants to ride- but you'll never be pressured to do something you don't want to do.
We’ll meet in the spot listed below, get acquainted and head out for the day.
We’ll enjoy a little warm up on the fantastic skills area available at the bike park; then, when warm and ready, we will head further afield and can take it from there.
We will have a ‘lunch break’ in the middle of the day where we can grab some food, refuel and enjoy the facilities provided by Leeds Bike Park. There is an awesome cafe onsite that offers coffees, cakes and more or you can bring your own food.
It’s a super loose structure; we won’t be rushing to get done, we won’t be pushing to tick off features- the aim is to have fun and ride bikes!
No pressure, just good times!
Where to Meet Us:
We will be ready and waiting just outside the cafe near the carpark at 09:45, ready to ride at 10:00 (we’re not going to hang around too long, so try to be on time so you don’t miss the ride). If you fancy a coffee before the ride, do arrive early so you’re ready to go at 10am.
Emma will be there ready and waiting, so be sure to make yourself known to her.
The What3Words for our meeting spot:
What Should you Bring?:
It’s super important to note that we will not ride with anyone who is not wearing a helmet!
Other than that, the protective gear that you bring is up to you- we normally ride with knee pads and maybe gloves, depending on the conditions. You’ll also need a bike that is trail suitable and safe, and some water to keep you going.
As this ride is taking place in November we would strongly recommend a rain jacket and riding pants so you have a better chance of staying warm and dry!
If you’re going to hire a bike for the day be sure to do it well in advance of the ride.
What Will it Cost?
The ride itself is totally free, we won’t be charging you anything for our company.
Amazingly, Leeds Urban Bike Park is also free! We can’t believe it either.
We would strongly recommend you donate some money once you’ve ridden to help support this incredible facility, but it’s up to you.
Other than that, having some money spare for a bit of lunch and a coffee is great idea although you don’t have to buy anything if you don’t want to- feel free to bring your own pack lunch and snacks, as well as plenty of water.

And a quick disclaimer from us, please do take a look:
This is NOT a guided ride and there will be no coaching, we’re simply meeting you at the trail head to make some friends, push each other as a group, and get women on the trails. We do not accept any responsibility / liability for any accidents, and we will refuse to ride with anyone who arrives without the correct safety equipment or an unsafe bike. All riders must sign up in order to ride and in doing so you are agreeing to these terms. All riders must be ages 18 or above.
