ABOUT

RATS Cycling Club's women's participation program - RATS Chicks Ride - is offering a guided social ride of the Eastern Escarpment trails in small groups of 10 women, each with two ride leaders.

The groups will be divided into beginner, intermediate and advanced (sign up here into C, B or A-grade).

E-bikes welcome in all categories. RATS Chicks Rides are open to women over the age of 16, and we welcome those from the trans community who identify as female.

What do I need to bring?

You will need a mountain bike with working gears and brakes (hybrids are not suitable for the rougher trails), a helmet, and a smile. Please bring a spare tube for your bike - even if you don't know how to fit it - and make sure it is the correct size. Please also ensure that you bring enough water and snacks for a 2 hour ride. You must be covered by AusCycling insurance - details below.

Event Cancellations

Riders will receive 100% refund if the event is cancelled.
We will do our best to communicate our intentions early if the event is at risk of not proceeding. Please note the EE trails are ridable in wet conditions, and the trailhead has a shelter for the morning tea, so the ride will likely proceed unless storms are active.
