We got some great news from the Beti AllRide crew. They’re expanding yet again, and this time, they’re going East. In the US that is. They’ve only done women’s clinics in the Western United States to this point, but as the demand for fun women’s clinics grows, plans have been made to go to the people. Below is some info straight from the new Marketing Director Elena Forchielli.

Beti AllRide has big plans for 2015! We are taking the Beti AllRide Clinic national and expanding east. After numerous requests we are taking a leap into new territory and bringing clinics to riders on the East Coast. After hearing so much about the growing numbers of passionate riders out there, we decided we needed to get in on the action and we’re very excited to be a part of their communities. Stay tuned for more details!

The number of women on mountain bikes continues to grow every season, whether it’s beginners hitting the trails for the first time or women signing up for enduro races. The passion and momentum for the sport is there, but we heard a lot of feedback from the community that there was a lack of opportunities for women to work on progressing their skills. In response to this demand, we created the Beti AllRide Mountain Bike Skills Clinic in 2013.

Our first clinic at Keystone, Colorado, was a huge success; we received an overwhelmingly positive response from our participants. Beti AllRide is unique because we cater to women of all skill levels, not just beginners. Many of our participants have been riding for years, but they needed more information to take their skills to the next level, whether it’s clearing a jump line, hitting bigger drops, or nailing steep switchbacks. We have the best coaches, hands down, and we foster a community of inclusiveness that gives everyone the confidence to succeed.

After such a great first event, we expanded to four clinics in our second year. In 2014, we went to Sedona, Angel Fire, Keystone, and Crested Butte. Again, thanks to the passion of women riders across the Rocky Mountain Region, we enjoyed a tremendous amount of success.

Beti AllRide’s mission is to inspire women and enable them to have the confidence to become riders for life. Our talented coaches are dedicated to helping our students improve their relationships with their bikes. We offer instruction for varying abilities and make sure our students have the expertise, tools, and support to surpass their riding goals.

Bike or small bikes, full face or half shell, the clinics have something for all levels of riders.
