MTB Chicks is an informal mountain biking group for female riders meeting up around once a month for an off-road ride in the Greater Wellington area

Weekend Rides

Weekend rides are typically for around 2-3 hours.  Routes are aimed at intermediate level riders, i.e. those with some mountain biking experience who are comfortable with grade 2-3 level tracks (e.g. route might include steep slopes, narrow tracks and some exposure at the track’s outside edge - Aratihi, Zack's track and Varley's track at Makara for example).  For further details on trail grading refer to trail grading info.  

Pace is social, distance is moderate - i.e. averaging around 10-12km/hour, depending on terrain, for around 20-25 km.  We have a leader and assign a back marker to keep the group together

Ride details are published on the website around two weeks beforehand and emailed out during the week before to a mailing list.  Future ride dates are also posted on the website along with location details as they are confirmed.
