DIRT DIVAS MTB AND GRAVEL
OUR STORY
We are a collective of female riders, guides, coaches, and mechanics, using our experience and knowledge to spread the awesomeness of MTB and gravel riding to other women, non-binary and trans people. We want to inspire and teach, as well as offer opportunities to others.
We also are promoting local areas and the communities they support. Each one of us brings something different to the table, below in no particular order are just some of the people that are helping bring this to life, including coaches, leaders, and all the work that goes on behind the scenes.

AVRIL
Sometimes hiking, always biking. I’ve not been able to stay away from any kind of bike since I was 3, road, MTB and now the gravely dark side, I’m happy as long as out and about. I’m all about the journey, being self sufficient and having a good old time adventuring. When I’m off the bike, you’ll find I’m on the yoga mat, finding a calm that I can take back to scary steep bits of trail.
BETH
I discovered cycling was the best way to get the furthest from my family in the shortest period of time. The off-road bounty of Gravelfoyle on my doorstep made things easy.
