And in a blink the race season is coming to an end! Romp at Rivers Edge is just around the corner. We are planning lots of fun activities at the GRiT tent to celebrate the season.
The GRiT mission is to build and nurture a community of female riders.
All riders are encouraged to invite friends to attend any GRiT event. We have loaner bikes and helmets for anyone who wishes to try it out!
Volunteer with GRiT
