About us
We organise social group rides catering to various skill levels, ensuring everyone discovers their perfect cycling fit. Whether you prefer cruising scenic trails or tackling challenging routes, we have a ride for you.
Our routes focus on off-road, gravel trails, mountain bike trails, and quiet roads, providing stillness and space to escape the noise of everyday life, connect with others, and appreciate the outdoors.
Grit Grrrls is a welcoming space for all types of cyclists – everyday cyclists, gravel enthusiasts, mountain bikers, and e-bikers. We aim to create a safe and empowering environment for all women, including cis, trans and non-binary individuals to come together and enjoy riding their bikes.
Good vibes only, our rides offer opportunities to meet new people, ride with friends, and, of course, indulge in a chat over coffee and cake. We’re building a vibrant community of women uplifting one another, united by a shared love of cycling.
Join us as we embark on a journey to inspire women cyclists to become advocates for change, building equity, diversity and inclusion in the cycling world and beyond.
Information about the group rides
Social ride:
Our rides are social rides and not guided or instructed, this does mean you will be responsible for yourself and your bike. However, we will pull together if anyone needs help, no-one will ever be left behind.
Location:
Nottingham and Derby
Diverse Terrains:
Conquer gravel, canal paths, river trails, and maybe even a forest or two! Bumpy surfaces? No problem. We mix it up with varied routes, from smooth rides to fun mountain bike adventures.
Choose Your Ride:
Whether you fancy a short spin or a longer journey, we’ve got rides for all levels. As we grow as a community, the variety of rides will grow too.
Fuel Breaks with a Side of Cake:
Coffee and cake pit stops are a must. We refuel, chat, and maybe indulge in a bit of dessert therapy.
The Vibe: Fun, Friendly, and Welcoming:
No one gets left behind—it’s all about the joy of riding together. Our rides are more than cycling; they’re a social affair. Expect a friendly vibe, welcoming faces, many riders come solo and leave with new friends.
