What a Women’s Mountain Biking Retreat is Really Like

Are you ready for a transformational retreat experience?

You love riding but planning another trip is time you don’t have. Lucky for you, we plan it all!

A Crank Queens Retreat isn’t just another weekend of mountain biking. It’s a chance to step away from the daily grind, reconnect with yourself, and come home stronger, more confident, and completely re-energized. No planning needed on your part.

Let’s walk you through what a retreat weekend actually looks like.

Fridays: Skills & Scenic Rides

Your weekend kicks off with a warm welcome, introductions, and a big exhale. The first morning is all about dialing in your technique with a skills session led by our expert coaches. Whether you’re tackling switchbacks for the first time or learning to add flow to your descents, we meet you where you’re at.

In the afternoon, we head out for a scenic three-hour ride, where you can put your new skills into practice and soak in the views. It’s the perfect mix of learning, riding, and starting to feel that stress melt away.

Saturdays: Adventure Day

Saturday is our full-day adventure ride, the kind of ride you’ll remember for years. Think long, flowy descents, epic viewpoints, and that feeling of being both challenged and fully alive.

We offer multiple ride options, so you can choose your challenge level, whether that’s pushing to your next edge or cruising in your sweet spot. Ride with women who are at the same place in their journey and find confidence together.

Beyond the Trails

Our retreats are about so much more than just riding.

  • Wellness sessions keep your body and mind in peak shape.

  • Delicious meals fuel your days without you lifting a finger in the kitchen.

  • Intentional downtime lets you reset and soak up the moment—think campfires, deep belly laughs, and the magic of simply unplugging.

By the end of the weekend, you’ll feel stronger in every sense of the word.

The Vibe

Our community is the secret sauce of every retreat. Imagine a weekend surrounded by supportive, adventurous women who:

  • Cheer for every win, big or small.

  • Share your love for dirt, flow trails, and post-ride snacks.

  • Remind you exactly why you fell in love with mountain biking in the first place.

This is your space to ride, laugh, grow, and just be you.

What makes this Retreat Different

Here’s why past participants call our weekends life changing:

  • Ride & Refine: Our expert coaches help you break through plateaus, master new skills, and feel powerful on your bike.

  • Confidence Over Endurance: Every climb, corner, and descent proves what you’re capable of.

  • Strong Women, Stronger You: You’ll leave with new friends and a tribe that truly “gets” you.

  • Recharge Mind & Body: Wellness and mindset sessions help you return home refocused and unstoppable.

And the best part? Everything is taken care of. Lodging, meals, coaching, rides, and even your airport shuttle, done. All you have to do is show up ready to ride.

Make new friends, learn new skills and increase your confidence on and off the bike!

We also offer scholarships for riders who need a little help getting here.

And NICA Coach Discounts to thank those giving back to the next generation of riders.
