The Dirt Series

June 4th, 2007 by Sara Best

The Dirt Series by Rocky Mountain Bicycles is a series of instructional camps designed to get more women out on the trails. Based in Alberta and British Columbia in western Canada, the camps teach basic technical skills on the bike and also cover bike maintenance and fit. The two-day, women-only camps begin in April and run through to mid September and are often sold out early on in the season. The weekend camps run about $255US plus tax.

Since the program began in Whistler in 2000, it has expanded throughout B.C. and Alberta as well as into Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, and Utah. Along the way, the Dirt Series has also picked up an impressive array of corporate sponsors including Giro, Maxxis, Adidas Eyewear and even Kicking Horse Coffee - some of the best coffee that BC has to offer.
