If you haven’t done the Cateye Moonride before, definitely put it on your radar.

It’s such an epic event—super welcoming for all levels, with the best mix of riding and party vibes. We spotted a bunch of Mud Maidens (and some awesome supporters) out there today having an absolute blast on course.

Massive thanks to for putting on such a great event, you really brought it back to its roots 👏🙌🤘

Our winter monthly rides are locked in — now let’s hope the weather plays ball!

We’ll share the trail details the week before each ride on Instagram, so make sure you check the post to see what kind of ride it will be. As always, the plan will flex to suit whoever turns up. Each ride is shaped around the group’s vibe and skill level, and when needed we’ll split into smaller groups to make sure everyone is catered for.

Keep an eye out for the ride announcements — all you need to do is show up and have fun!

If you have any suggestions for ride types or places you’d love to visit, we’d love to hear them.

This has been a really difficult decision, but we’ve decided to take a break from our events this year.

What started with 30 riders and Strava timing has grown to more than 140 incredible women showing up and proving what an amazing community we’ve created together. We’ve exceeded everything we imagined, and we know the community will continue to grow.

However, we’ve reached a point where the events are exceeding our capacity. We’re a small group of volunteers who give everything to make these events happen — often with literal blood, sweat and tears — alongside full-time jobs and busy lives. Right now, we’re simply feeling the effects of volunteer fatigue and need to take a step back.

During this time, we’ll look at ways to bring the events back in a way that allows them to grow sustainably in the future.

A huge thank you to all of you for being part of our events, and to our volunteers, sponsors and supporters — we couldn’t have built this without you.

Our monthly rides and away trips will continue, so if you have ideas for things you’d like to see, let us know.
Keep an eye on our Facebook events and Instagram for the latest updates 🤘💜
