How do I make sure I get a spot in the camp I want to atteND?
We will announce registration to our newsletter subscribers and social media a week prior to opening registration for the whole year. Last year the camps all sold out by June, so be ready to sign up when registration opens.
How does the waitlist work?
When you sign up to the waitlist, you are added in order. If we get a cancellation, we email the first person on the list and then we continue down the list as needed.
What ages are allowed?
Women 18 and over.
I'm brand new to mountain biking, is this camp for me?
Absolutely! We teach all levels of riders. Each rider will fill out a questionnaire about riding ability and goals during registration. We love introducing women to the sport!
Will this camp be challenging enough if i am an advanced technical rider?
Definitely! We group participants by skill level and interests, so whether you are looking to increase speed, fine tune your skills, or get more airtime, our talented coaches can help.
Am I considered an advanced rider if I've been riding very long distances for many years where terrain is not very technical?
Not necessarily. When we ask about your rider level we are referring to technical bike handling skills. Someone who has been riding for two years on extremely technical terrain may have more bike handling skills than someone who has been riding for 20 years on smooth dirt.
Will the camp be held in the rain?
Yes. The show goes on rain, snow or shine. Bring your rain gear!
Yes, we will have Liv bikes, G-Form pads, Crankbrothers pedals and Smith helmets for demo at the event (free of charge). We have limited quantities of each, so it is first come, first served. You can use all the demo equipment during the whole weekend. You may reserve your Liv demo bike prior to the camp by clicking here.
What is an education station?
On Saturday after trail time ends, ladies have the option to attend two 20-minute education stations about anything from changing a flat tire, fixing a chain, setting up suspension, to nutrition talks and body positioning slideshow.
Can I be with my friend(s) during the camp?
Yes, when you complete the pre-camp skills assessment there's a place to put your friend's name. Please keep in mind we may not be able to accommodate all requests. We will always prioritize grouping based on skill similarities in order to make groups as cohesive as possible.
Is lodging provided?
Although lodging is not included in the price of the clinic, we do provide lodging suggestions and often have discounts available from our lodging partners. Check the specific camp's page for details.
Is lunch provided?
Yes, a healthy, filling lunch is provided on Saturday & Sunday.
What if I have food allergies?
We accommodate gluten-free, dairy-free and vegetarian requests (but not combinations of multiple dietary requests). Due to logistics we can cannot accommodate other requests. If we cannot meet your dietary needs, feel free to bring along your own lunch.
Should I wear underwear under my chamois? What is a chamois?
NO! A chamois should be worn alone. If you prefer underwear, no chamois. Chamois are padded cycling shorts worn alone, or under baggy shorts for more protection, comfort and style.
What are Grit Clinics?
Grit Clinics are private, customized clinics for men, women, all ages, all levels. For more info visit gritclinics.com
Should we tip our coaches?
Tips are never expected but always appreciated.
Do I need a full face helmet?
We do not require full-face helmets. Our Grand Targhee, WY and Big Sky, MT camps have lift-access riding and full-face helmets are recommended if you are interested in more advanced skills in the bike park like jumps and drops. We will have a limited number of Fox Rampage full-face helmets to demo. If you bring a full-face with you, also bring your open-face helmet for morning skills and drills.
