dirtgirls

in association with SheCycles & Minx 

We are running a weekend in the Pyrenees in September. Find out more here or email Sara

With four dirtgirls, women only biking holidays, already run from our base in Morzine we've been busy looking for a fresh new focus. When we managed to persuade Masters World Champion Petra Wiltshire to come along as coach we knew we were onto a winner. Petra, who's sponsored by Trek, has been guiding and coaching in the Portes du Soleil for years now and is probably the only reason Sara made it down the Megavalanche course! The experience of riding with her for just a couple of days pushed Sara further than the rest of the summer in total. If you want some of her magic to rub off on you too get out here this summer!

We'll be running dirtgirls from the super swanky Rose des Alpes Hotel in Champery. A small friendly hotel, it means we have our own dining area, a bar, lounge and a bike tinkering space, plus a hot tub and sun terrace! 

Minx, the website dedicated to cycle clothing for girls with attitude, will be supporting the dirtgirls weeks once again. This year Minx willnot only be providing end of week prizes but is offering all 2008 dirtgirls a discount on pre-trip purchases so they can get ready to hit the trails in style!

2008 dirtgirls will also be fuelled with mule bars. Mulebar believe there is no energy like natural ingredients so all bars are made with 100% natural ingredients. We like this!

With a mix of skills sessions and rides, as well as evenings out and other activities they are busy and fun weeks. Check out Sue Williams' article in Singletrack on our blog for a riders perspective. All girls are welcome, except complete beginners. You don't need to be an expert, but experience of mountain biking is necessary to make the most of the trails here.
