The Ladies AllRide Tour has recently announced that they are expanding their women’s skills clinics to destinations across the U.S. in order to reach more women mountain bikers. Coupled with their new sponsors Liv and SRAM, the Ladies AllRide Tour will not only be bringing high-level instruction, but will now be able to offer Liv demo bikes decked out with SRAM components for clinic participants.
Liv global communications manager, Janette Sherman, speaks of Liv’s new sponsorship with the Ladies AllRide Tour:
“At the end of the day, Lindsey and Liv have the same mission, to get more women on bikes. Lindsey’s passion for mountain biking is infectious and the way she teaches the sport allows women to be empowered both on and off the bike.”
Having personally attended a Beti AllRide clinic (now known as the VIDA Mtb Series) taught by Lyndsay Voreis, I can attest to her infectious and passionate teaching style.
Ladies AllRideTour instructor, Lindsay Voreis offers insight into the clinic series:
“After traveling North America for ten years promoting mountain biking with Kirt Voreis’AllRide Tour, and then collaborating with others to create and teach clinics, I am elated to see the Ladies AllRide Tour gaining momentum with the support of amazing brands. We all have a common goal to grow the presence of women in mountain bike communities across the globe and I couldn’t be more excited for my program to evolve in multiple directions.”
In addition to the new sponsors, the Ladies AllRide Tour is partnering with Grit Clinics based in Bend, OR. The joining of forces between the two women’s-focused clinics will bring greater opportunities to get more women on bikes. This partnership is also allowing for expansion of clinics to the East Coast as well, something many of our female readers here at Singletracks have been craving.
