Ready to Ride Stronger, Feel More Confident, and Have More Fun on the Trails?

You love the idea of mountain biking, but maybe…

 ❌ You feel stuck riding the same trails without real progress.
❌ You lack confidence on technical sections and challenging climbs.
❌ You know you need to get stronger, but you're unsure how to train off the bike.
❌ You wish you had a supportive crew to ride with and keep you motivated.

🚨 What if this season was different? 🚨

What if you finally felt in control of your bike, crushed climbs without gassing out, and actually looked forward to challenging yourself on new trails? What if you had a structured plan, expert coaching, and a built-in community to keep you accountable all season long?

That’s exactly what our Crank Queens Group Programs are designed to do.

New to the Bike

Totally new to mountain biking?

Want to ride confidently and safely but not sure where to start? 

We get it! Everyone was a beginner once at this sport, and we want to make learning how to mountain bike as safe and as FUN as possible.

This program is for women who are totally new to mountain biking, no previous experience required. If you’ve never ridden on dirt, but want to learn, this program is for you!

Our next cohort starts May 2025.

We will have two monthly skills clinic date options to choose from: the 2nd and 3rd Tuesday of the month at Eagle Bike Park at 5:45pm.

Are you a lady shredder based in Western Washington? We are launching a New to the Bike Program with Olympia MTB Ride Club this spring. Learn more here.

Back on the Bike

You know how to ride, but it's been a while since you were on a bike.

Maybe you've had an injury, you've had a kiddo, or life just got TOO dang busy.

Whatever the case, we want to help you get Back on the Bike!

Ever heard the phrase “nothing changes if nothing changes”? Well, it’s 100% true. How many times have you asked yourself “when will I get better/faster/stronger at mountain biking?”

Nutrition, sleep and recovery, finding time to ride with a busy schedule, mindset, building confidence, and learning how to show up for yourself are all key components.

Our next cohort starts May 2025.

Skill Clinic dates: May 15, June 5, July 10 at Eagle Bike Park at 5:45pm.

Stronger Together

Do you hit the trails every spring thinking to yourself “I wish I had stayed active over the winter?”

This program is for women of all riding abilities who are ready to build strength, dial in their nutrition, better understand how to improve their sleep/recovery, and be stronger than ever for next riding season. This program includes a complete strength training program, access to a certified personal trainer, and monthly strength training classes.

Plus, get ready to build a community of women around you so you have those riding buddies ready to get out on the trails next spring. 

Our next cohort starts November 2025.

What Women Like You Are Saying…

🗣 "Even though it's a group environment I felt like I had more individual attention then I expected. It was like each week was written just for me.” – Emily, Group Program Participant

🗣 “I gained more confidence on a bike, learned a lot of helpful tips that improved my riding and met some great friends!” - Olga, Group Program participant

🗣 “I have so much more energy now that I am following Erica's nutrition and strength-training plans. I have also seen improvement in being able to lift and carry things I was previously struggling with, and it feels so good to be strong enough to do the things I want to be able to keep doing to live an active life.” - Jody, Group Program participant

🗣 “The Crank Queens community has completely transformed my life as a mountain biker. I used to have zero confidence and struggled to feel like I even belonged on the trails. In less than a year, this community has improved not only my strength as a rider, but my self worth on and off the trails.” - Kendra, Group Program Participant

🗣 "My monthly fitness trend number on Strava is the highest it's been in over 2 years!" and "I am motivated to reach my training goals and love the training program I have." - Paige, Group Program Participant

🗣 "I had no idea that this program would change such a drastic part of my life, but I am so grateful for it! It's been so helpful to look at all aspects of my life and find that I'm doing most of the things "right." It allowed me to pinpoint the negative influence that this one aspect was having on me. It totally took me by surprise, but I'm here for it! :)" - Stephanie M., Group Program Participant

🗣 "I am still just so grateful for this program! It is out of my comfort zone for sure, especially the group riding and clinic, but yesterday gave me confidence that I'm where I need to be. You have created such a great community and I can't wait for more! I also gained some confidence that I don't have to be at the back. In fact, I probably would have been more comfortable mid pack and I'll try that next group ride. I'm also very grateful for the strategic goal planning and mapping. I've been so off track and just kind of surviving for all the obvious reasons but I feel really ready to get back to myself and show my kids the version of their mom they are familiar with and deserve" - Stephanie S., Group Program Participant

Meet Erica

I started as a total beginner mountain biker in the spring of 2018. Although I’ve always been a fairly active adult, I’d lost focus on my fitness with the busyness of life. Riding 6 miles was a BIG accomplishment that first summer.

Eight mountain bikes and five years later, I now lead the fastest growing mountain biking community in SW Idaho with over 80 members and growing. I compete in endurance MTB races, I train other athletes, and I help women around the US start their own MTB communities.

Never did I imagine on that first ride that I would go from 6 miles being exhausting to riding 80+ miles in one day during an endurance MTB race where I placed 1st!

All this while raising a family, leading organizations, and volunteering as a coach for student athletes. (And finding time to read a good book here and there every once in a while…)

A lot of women ask me how I do it. How do I find time to ride with everything on my plate?

The truth? I’ve had to learn to prioritize my health and prioritize myself. And, I invested in myself through skills clinics, learning bike maintenance, buying gear that worked for me, and surrounding myself with other women who love to ride.
