ECYC GRiT Give It A Go

Eau Claire Youth Cycling (ECYC) is hosting a free GRiT “Give It A Go” event for girls entering grades 6–12 who are interested in learning more about mountain biking in a fun, supportive, and low-pressure environment. Moms and women interested in learning more about mountain biking or becoming involved as coaches are also encouraged to attend.

Participants will have the opportunity to:

• Meet current ECYC athletes and coaches
• Learn basic mountain biking skills and safety 
• Participate in games and activities
• Ride beginner-friendly trails
• Ask questions about the team and the sport

No experience is necessary, and riders of all ability levels are welcome. The goal of the event is simply to help girls feel comfortable, have fun, and experience the community and confidence that mountain biking can provide.

Participants should bring a working bike, a helmet, a water bottle, and closed toe shoes. If you don't have a bike, still reach out, and they may be able to help procure a loaner.
