What folks have to say about our events
The most wonderful adventure ever! A great introduction to bike packing, built up so much confidence in 4 days that would have taken years on my own. The SITW team are absolute gems who provide the perfect balance of challenging us to push our boundaries and supporting us throughout, creating an amazingly safe and inclusive environment. Cannot recommend this enough and I'm already excited for the next one!

Charlotte, Rach, and Robyn were so welcoming, kind, and warm from the moment I arrived. The whole weekend was the perfect mix of learning, laughter, and bonding. The girls were so knowledgeable about bikepacking and cycling and I felt like I could ask any questions at all, but at the same time didn't feel out of place or patronised. They catered so well for all abilities. Everyone on the weekend gelled together really well and I know I've made some great friends. I left the weekend totally inspired to go and plan some more of my own adventures and excited to get back on my bike.

What an utterly amazing wknd, honestly my heart is so full and I’m proper buzzin. To meet such awesome, brave women and come away with new bike friends has been an unexpected and beautiful thing. I was quite emotional as you know when I found you guys on insta and discovered your women’s biking weekend with an affordable option AND that provided all the kit that I didn’t have. I described it to you as my perfect weekend....and it didn’t disappoint! You all worked so hard, you were incredibly supportive, positive and reassuring....I literally couldn’t fault a single thing on the whole weekend!

Sisters In The Wild has been the most amazing event in my life. I’m not even exaggerating. I am a changed woman after this weekend

Sisters in the Wild. WOW 🤯. Struggling to even begin to express how wholesome, empowering, life-affirming, educational, fulfilling, fun, delicious and beautiful this weekend was. What you get when you gather a community of bike-loving women, non-binary and trans people is truly magical.”
— Vera Ngosi-Sambrook (Summer Gathering)
What a special weekend! Everything was so well thought through and planned perfectly. The team fostered an environment with the most incredible vibe and enabled everyone tackled the weekend in a different way, to suite them!
— Emma Peat (East Devon Trail Rally)
It was great to catch up with old friends and many new ones. This is what the cycling world needs, safe inclusive spaces for people to solely focus on riding bikes and have a reyt good time. No bullshit, no egos, no one trying to be the best. Just everyone riding bikes and enjoying themselves 💜
— Emma Whitaker (Summer Gathering)
It was a joy to be in an unapologetically feminist, pro-queer, pro-trans space, surrounded by people committed to social and racial justice, and in such a beautiful setting too. Although I was anxious about coming alone the guided ride was a blast and a good opportunity to make a few friends who I hope to stay in touch with!
