Join Liv Ladies AllRide: Powered by SRAM Mountain Bike Skills Camps for 10th Season
Who’s ready to take their mountain bike skills to the next level? Registration is now open at www.ladiesallride.com for women over 18 of all skill levels, from beginner to seasoned rider. Ladies AllRide is in its tenth season of exceptional mountain bike skills camps in fun and inspiring riding destinations around the country. New this year is the addition of gravel groups at two of their hometown Bend, OR camps.
“This camp was the most fun and educational camp I have ever attended. Lindsey started the camp out by addressing vulnerability and how we’re all in this together, which immediately helped calm my nerves”, said Maggie, a Vermont participant. “Our coaches were talented, patient and explained things in creative ways that we all understood. They challenged us but made us feel safe and therefore women were accomplishing things they never thought possible! Ladies AllRide is a wonderful and welcoming organization. I left feeling inspired, empowered, and grateful to have spent an entire weekend with such encouraging, awesome women!”

Lindsey Richter, founder and Director of Inspiration at Ladies AllRide, has been involved in the bike industry for over 20 years. After 10 years traversing the country with the “AllRide Tour” riding, racing, promoting products and sponsoring a kids’ race team, she made it her mission to get more women into mountain biking. She became certified to coach in 2010 and has since taught mountain biking full-time around the world.
"Mountain biking's transformative power has been instrumental in my life, inspiring me to impact other women's lives. The symmetry between mountain biking and life has taught me so much about myself. It has helped me with my mental and physical health, it’s made me realize what I’m capable of, it’s taught me to trust myself and how to get past obstacles on the bike and in life. I’ve made it my life’s mission to pay this knowledge and experience forward by helping as many women as possible discover their full potential on and off the bike."
Ladies AllRide has a team of experienced, certified, skilled, and passionate coaches who are committed to the mission to help more people who identify as women reap the benefits of mountain biking. “We not only teach valuable bike handling skills, but we also inspire participants to be more aware of their thoughts. We help them learn how to ride through insecure, fear-based thoughts that inhibit growth and success on the bike and in life. Through our coaching we help women see how the same bike skills required to get over obstacles – understanding, practice, determination, balance, momentum - apply equally to mastering the obstacles in their lives,” said Richter. “It's magical to witness women have those 'ah-ha' moments!”
“For ten years, Ladies AllRide has been tearing down so many barriers that have kept women from entering off-road cycling,” said Cassondra Spring, Liv Global Brand Manager. “Through their camps and platforms, they provide a supportive community that champions womens’ skills and confidence, while also introducing the joy that comes from riding with other women. Their commitment to growing women’s mountain biking is unparalleled and Liv could not be more proud to be aligned with the values Ladies AllRide brings to cycling. This is a partnership we’ve held close since day one of their inception, and we look forward to continuing support for their game-changing work.”
An important component to the camps are the education stations where women learn about setting up and adjusting suspension, fixing flat tires, bike maintenance, gear, facing fear and so much more. And then of course there are the raffle prizes thanks to so many great sponsors!
“SRAM is proud to support the Ladies AllRide Program. You would be hard pressed to find a program that has done more to progress the growth and development of women’s participation in mountain biking” said Jaime Hill, SRAM Ambassador Program Specialist. “The whole Ladies AllRide team are passionate professionals, who are experts at curating good vibes, and supportive environments and will no doubt continue to help shape the future of the bicycle industry - one camp at a time."
"We're thrilled to collaborate with so many incredible companies in the outdoor industry”, said Meredith Brandt, Ladies AllRide Partner and CEO. "Our sponsors, most of whom have been with us since inception, recognize the worth of educational programs like ours, where we empower and inspire women to be enthusiastic, lifelong riders. We are incredibly grateful to have the commitment and support from so many awesome brands.”
The Ladies AllRide team looks forward to playing on bikes with women at one of their epic locations in 2024.
