Crank Queens - Women's Mountain Biking

Crank Queens - Women's Mountain Biking Empowerment & community for women who love bikes! Monthly rides May-Oct. Retreats: Oregon & Mexico. Want to Learn to Mountain Bike? We can teach you!

05/27/2026

Your fall riding plans just got a whole lot better! Crank Queens and Brave Endeavors are teaming up once again for a fall retreat you are not going to want to miss!

Join us in Bend, Oregon this October for 4 days of riding, coaching, connection, and community at our NEW retreat home: Waypoint Hotel ✨

This retreat is designed for women who want:
→ incredible trails
→ supportive coaching
→ meaningful connection
→ time to reset and reconnect with themselves

Expect:
✨ skills sessions + guided rides
✨ wellness + recovery experiences
✨ campfire hangs + deep belly laughs
✨ flowy descents and stunning Bend views

The vibes? Women who love to ride hard, eat well, and be in bed by 9pm 😅 Participant age ranges from mid 20s to women in their 60s and 70s. The women who attend our retreats value community, self-care, and adventure but without the stress of planning their own weekend get away.

Whether you come solo or with friends, you’ll leave with more confidence on the bike and probably a few new riding buddies too

📍 Bend, OR
📅 October 1–4, 2026
🏨 Our basecamp is Waypoint Hotel

Your brakes are one of the most important confidence-builders on the trail 🚲✨

Join us June 20 for a hands-on bike maintenance clinic with the team at Rolling H Cycles focused entirely on brakes.

We’ll cover:
→ how your brakes work
→ common issues to watch for
→ simple adjustments you can make yourself
→ how to feel more confident and in control on the trail

This session is beginner-friendly and designed to help you feel more comfortable with your bike, no mechanical experience needed.

📍 Rolling H Cycles
📅 Saturday, June 20
⏰ 10–11 AM

Free & open to everyone

Bring a friend and be sure to RSVP!

I see a lot of women start to learn how to mountain bike and then this happens 👇🏼

They get discouraged at the pace of their progress
Their expectations don't match their experience
They see other riders learning faster than them
They focus on advanced skills they are not ready for yet, instead of mastering the foundations

My advice?

Embrace the reality that learning the skills of mountain biking is a life long journey. There's no overnight solution!

Learning a new skill takes time and effort. It takes practice!

But you know what?? That's what we're here for! That's exactly why I started Crank Queens - to create a supportive community for women of all levels.

I would love to hear what skills you are working on this season. Drop it in the comments below 👇🏼

So many women tell us they aren’t going to sign up for the group ride or the skills clinic because:
“I’m too slow.”
“I’m too nervous.”
“I’m probably the least experienced one there.”
“I should get better before I join.”

But the women who join us for a group ride, sign up for one of our skill building programs or attend a retreat? Something shifts.
Not just their riding skills.
Their identity.

They stop seeing themselves as someone “trying” mountain biking and start seeing themselves as mountain bikers.

That’s what happens when you:
✨ learn skills in a supportive environment
✨ ride with women at your level
✨ stop trying to figure it all out alone
✨ build confidence step by step

Not sure where to get started? Shoot us a DM! We are here to help.

The Bend Retreat has never just been about mountain biking.
Yes, there are incredible trails.
Yes, you’ll build skills and confidence on the bike.

But what women talk about most afterward is how they felt.
More confident.
More connected.
More like themselves again.

Last year, women came to Bend feeling nervous about:
→ traveling alone
→ riding with a group
→ whether they were “good enough” to be there

And they left with new confidence, new friendships, and a reminder that they’re capable of more than they thought.

That’s the real transformation ✨

This retreat is for the woman who wants:
🏔️ supportive coaching
🏔️ incredible riding
🏔️ meaningful connection
🏔️ space to reset and reconnect with herself

Mountain biking gets a lot more fun when you stop trying to do it alone.

One of the most common things we hear from women in our community is:

“I finally found my people.”

Not because everyone rides at the same level.

Not because anyone has it all figured out.

But because this community is built on encouragement, support, and women showing up for each other on and off the trail.

In 2026, we hope you find:

✨ riding buddies who wait at the top of the climb

✨ women who cheer for your wins

✨ confidence to try something new

✨ a place where you feel like you belong

That’s what Crank Queens is about.
