Join this weekend’s Women’s MTB Clinic for Marinduro & Sturdy Dirty prep on April 11–12, 2026 at China Camp. Build confidence, improve skills, and ride with a supportive women’s community.
There’s something special about the days leading up to a race. The anticipation. The nerves. The quiet question in the back of your mind: Am I ready?
This weekend, we answer that question together.
I’m incredibly excited and proud to be partnering with Brian Astell from Ride Trailworks for our Women’s Marinduro and Sturdy Dirty Prep Clinic. The level of skill, calm, and precision he brings creates the perfect foundation for what we’re building—confidence on the bike and connection off it. Women’s MTB Clinic

Why China Camp This Weekend
We’ll be riding at China Camp State Park, one of the best places to build confidence—especially if the weather turns.
- Tree canopy offers natural protection from rain
- Sandy, decomposed granite soil drains well and maintains traction
- Trails allow for steady, controlled progression
This is where real riding happens. Not perfect conditions—real conditions that build real confidence.
What This Clinic Is Really About
Yes, we’ll work on skills.
Yes, we’ll prepare for racing.
But more than anything, this clinic is about how you move through fear.
It’s about pushing past hesitation, trusting your bike, and allowing yourself to progress without pressure.
And it’s about doing it together.
There’s something powerful that happens when women ride together—encouraging each other, sharing lines, celebrating small wins. That’s where confidence builds fast.
Turning Fear Into Fuel
Fear doesn’t disappear. It evolves.
This weekend, we use it.
We turn it into:
- Focus
- Energy
- Forward momentum
Instead of holding you back, it begins to carry you.
From tension to flow, From hesitation to movement, From fear to freedom.
