WA's NEWEST Women's Mountain Bike FUN DAY

Ride. Connect. Inspire | Saturday 8 Nov 2025

About

The Inspire Women’s MTB Fun Day is a celebration of women in mountain biking — a day to ride, learn, connect, and be part of a growing community. Whether you’re curious about trying MTB for the first time or you’re a confident rider looking to sharpen your skills and meet like-minded women, this event is for you. The day features skills workshops for all levels, practical bike maintenance sessions, speakers, tasty food trucks, and plenty of time to connect with others who love the outdoors.

Proudly presented by WestCycle, WA’s peak body for bike riding, and WA Gravity Girls, a grassroots collective empowering women and girls to ride off-road, the festival creates an inclusive, supportive space on and off the trails. Join us in Joondalup on Saturday 8 November 2025 for a day built around confidence, community, and fun.
