Revolve – Down to Earth Cycling Club For Women
The Weekly Revolver - 154
Hey Ladies!
A rather tardy Revolver today as Ash& MJ had their hands full with a dozen fantastic young ladies pumping (literally) around the Wellington trails. See the pic attached from today's outing to Tawa Dirt Jumps (after a morning ride at Wainui). These WORD (Wellington Off-Road Riding Dept.) programs are so much fun and the perfect way to get your youngsters hooked on MTBing!
More muddy fun times coming up with both the 2nd MTB exursion organised by Nicole and the Crazyman this weekend (it was great to see a handful of revolve ladies out on the PNP Pre-ride last Saturday!), as well as Wainui 6 hour Wurldz!
And there's also 1 more spot left for the upcoming Turns & Berms intermediate MTB course, check out the details below.
