SheShreds Alice Springs (SSAS)
This is a social mountain bike group for women and gender diverse people designed to provide a safe and supportive environment to develop mountain biking. The group will enjoy social rides, events, may participate in competitions and other opportunities of interest to its members.
Why:
To encourage women and gender diverse people to mountain bike, overcome barriers, develop mountain bike confidence, learn about their bike and gear, connect with other women, ride on singletrack, feel alive, empowered, improve health and wellbeing, and have fun.
Who:
This group is for women and gender diverse people only. The group is open to girls under 18 years of age who can ride independently.
Where:
The group may meet and finish at Telegraph Station or West Side at the Scout Hall or Morris Soak. Rides will be followed by a gathering at a local café for the essential café, cake, and connection!
When:
The group will ride monthly on Sunday mornings 7-9 am in the summer and 8.30-10.30 am in the winter.
In 2024 we are trialling Tuesday evening rides every two months followed by dinner out somewhere like Epilogue or The Brewery. These rides will happen around 5.30pm - 7.00pm in the summer and 5pm - 6.30pm in the winter.
How:
The group is affiliated with Central Australian Rough Riders (CARR), the Alice Springs Mountain Bike Club. Riders are welcome to try a session and then are expected to get AusCycling and CARR membership.
Options are many and include:
- a 4 week free trial
- an adult monthly Lifestyle membership $13
- an adult 12 mth Lifestyle membership $134. This includes a CARR joining fee of $20.
If a rider is not yet a member they will need to sign an electronic waiver that can be simply completed via https://www.carralicespringsmtb.com/. A leader can help you with this before the ride.
Membership includes the following benefits:
- Insurance
- organised social women’s only MTB rides and events
- free coffee and cake after social rides at various café’s
- access to all CARR’s programs, activities, and events
- you get to hang out with like minded women
The social rides go for 1-2hrs depending on the experience and skill of the group. If sufficient leaders are available, the group may split into smaller groups based on experience and skill.
Communication:
WhatsApp is the main communication channel for this group. Text George Landy on 0414 091 533 and ask to be added. Otherwise The CARR Facebook page and the CARR website also have information. Check out the website for what to bring on the social ride.
Guidelines:
No drop policy
Not a learn to ride program, come able to balance, pedal, brake, change gears, and open to riding single track.
The average maximum speed will be 12km p/hr. This means the groups will generally not ride faster than an average of 12km/p/hr. The group will ride at a speed that is comfortable for all riders.
Social Ride and Coffee/Cake
Social ride starting/finishing from the Telegraph Station for free coffee/cake afterwards. Hopefully this can build on and become a regular Sunday ride for some.

SheShreds Alice Springs (SSAS) - HOP #1
This is a social mountain bike group for women and gender diverse people designed to provide a safe and supportive environment to develop mountain biking. The group will enjoy social rides, events, may participate in competitions and other opportunities of interest to its members.
Why:
To encourage women and gender diverse people to mountain bike, overcome barriers, develop mountain bike confidence, learn about their bike and gear, connect with other women, ride on singletrack, feel alive, empowered, improve health and wellbeing, and have fun.
Who:
This group is for women and gender diverse people only. The group is open to girls under 18 years of age who can ride independently.
Where:
The group may meet and finish at Telegraph Station or West Side at the Scout Hall or Morris Soak. Rides will be followed by a gathering at a local café for the essential café, cake, and connection!
When:
The group will ride monthly on Sunday mornings 7-9 am in the summer and 8.30-10.30 am in the winter.
In 2024 we are trialling Tuesday evening rides every two months followed by dinner out somewhere like Epilogue or The Brewery. These rides will happen around 5.30pm - 7.00pm in the summer and 5pm - 6.30pm in the winter.
How:
The group is affiliated with Central Australian Rough Riders (CARR), the Alice Springs Mountain Bike Club. Riders are welcome to try a session and then are expected to get AusCycling and CARR membership.
Options are many and include:
- a 4 week free trial
- an adult monthly Lifestyle membership $13
- an adult 12 mth Lifestyle membership $134. This includes a CARR joining fee of $20.
If a rider is not yet a member they will need to sign an electronic waiver that can be simply completed via https://www.carralicespringsmtb.com/. A leader can help you with this before the ride.
Membership includes the following benefits:
- Insurance
- organised social women’s only MTB rides and events
- free coffee and cake after social rides at various café’s
- access to all CARR’s programs, activities, and events
- you get to hang out with like minded women
The social rides go for 1-2hrs depending on the experience and skill of the group. If sufficient leaders are available, the group may split into smaller groups based on experience and skill.
Communication:
WhatsApp is the main communication channel for this group. Text George Landy on 0414 091 533 and ask to be added. Otherwise The CARR Facebook page and the CARR website also have information. Check out the website for what to bring on the social ride.
Guidelines:
No drop policy
Not a learn to ride program, come able to balance, pedal, brake, change gears, and open to riding single track.
The average maximum speed will be 12km p/hr. This means the groups will generally not ride faster than an average of 12km/p/hr. The group will ride at a speed that is comfortable for all riders.
