Description
Join the Gritty Girls Mondays after school program with Coach Julia Gallant.
The Gritty Girls program is for GIRLS, run by GIRLS.
Gritty Girls provides a space for young female riders to grow confidence on their bikes, but also in themselves. Mountain biking helps build self confidence as riders overcome challenges, learn what they are capable of and make/achieve goals. This female focused program looks to empower young female riders by providing a space to connect with other girls, promote a positive and safe learning environment and have fun riding bikes!
