WHO ARE THE JOYRIDERS?
The JoyRiders mountain bike club is all about getting women (18+) and gender non-conforming femme folks out on the trails and having fun.
​
We've teamed up with the WMBC to spread the JOY of riding bikes on Galbraith Mountain (… and beyond!) located in Bellingham
​
We offer a positive, supportive place for riders of ALL levels, fitness and backgrounds. All rides are NO DROP rides! We ride cross-country, all-mountain, and downhill. None of the pressure, all of the fun — we ride for the JOY of it!
MISSION & PURPOSE
JoyRiders outings are designed to provide an inclusive and fun environment with our all-ability, no-drop rides for riders who are women and gender non-conforming femme folks. We start our rides on Galbraith Mountain in late spring and go through Fall alternating our start location between the north and south side. All of our ride leaders are certified. JoyRiders:
