January 23, 2014 (Markham, ON) – Joyride150 Indoor Bike Park, which is usually filled predominately with male riders, will be open to female riders only for both mornings of the Women’s Weekend so that women can ride without the intimidation of the boys & the big crowds.

Women of all ages and riding abilities will be coming from across North America to learn bike riding skills from experienced coaches in a supportive environment.  Last year, close to 200 female riders took over Joyride150 to enjoy the annual 2-day event that takes place at Canada’s only indoor all-season multi-discipline bike park.

The park will be featuring skills clinics in various areas of the park so that women can conquer their fears and learn to ride such things as the infamous foam pit, pump tracks, the beginner/sport/expert skinnies, resi jump, beginner/sport/expert jump lines, BMX street plaza, vert park, the cross-country loop with climbs & obstacles and much more.

In addition to riding clinics, there will be food & cycling related workshops such as Bike Fit by Trek Canada, Athletic Therapy & Injury Prevention, Bike Mechanics by Norco Canada, Spin Classes, Yoga by Moksha Yoga Richmond Hill and more!  There will also be a “Learn To Ride” clinic for those that are new to riding.  All types of riders and skill levels are welcome!
