Before you get started, we want you to know that Ride on Girls isn't a casual cruise. It's coaching, effort, and fun on the trail. We're looking for 8 ambitious girls aged 13-17 that have a real lust for life and think that mountain biking rocks and would love to give it a try!

Read every question below carefully before you apply. We're looking for riders who are ready to listen, push themselves, and get better every session.

The Checkpoint:
We're here to coach you. Ride on Girls isn't just a casual cruise - we're actually going to teach you how to handle a mountain bike like a pro. This means there will be times when we stop, listen to the coaches, practice specific skills, and try things again until we get them right. On a scale of 1–5, how do you feel about focusing, taking feedback, and practicing skills? *

(1) Not for me, I just want to cruise and chat.

(2) I'm down to listen and try, even if I get frustrated.

(3) I've done mountain biking before, but never had lessons. I'm ready to learn.

(4) Love it. I want to actually get good at this.

(5) I'm actually keen on coaching one day - this could be good for me!

The Fitness Reality Check:
You don't need to be an elite athlete, but mountain biking is a workout. We will be riding uphill, pedaling for chunks of time, and using our muscles. You need a basic level of fitness to enjoy it without wiping yourself out. Which statement sounds most like you? *

I rarely do physical stuff and climbing a flight of stairs winds me.

I'm reasonably active. I walk, play sports, or move around enough that a bit of hard cardio doesn't scare me.

I'm very active/fit and love pushing myself physically.

Mountain biking involves a lot of different skills. What is one specific thing you are actually excited to learn or get better at? *
