Anne would like to remind everyone that she teaches yoga, beg/adv. on Saturday mornings from 8-9 a.m. She will be teaching another class on Thursdays at noon in February/March. Classes are at Inner Dance, in Spenard.

This coming spring she would like to offer a yoga for cyclists class as the spring cycling season approaches. Keep this in mind as you think about the 2010 riding season.

Alaska Dirt Divas - a women's mountain biking club

Come bike with us!

The Alaska Dirt Divas encourage women to take up the sport of mountain biking by providing a positive environment for learning the skills that will make you more confident on the trail. Divas include riders of all skill levels, from experienced cyclists who’ve been riding for over a dozen years to women who are just entering the sport. We welcome all levels of riders.

Look for our beginner clinics if you’d like to learn or brush up on basic skills. Join us for a trailside repair clinic and never worry that you can’t fix a flat. Join a ride and meet the supportive group of women who make up the Alaska Dirt Divas.

The Dirt - membership, rides, volunteering

The Alaska Dirt Divas is a member organization of IMBA - the International Mountain Bicycling Association. IMBA helps mountain bikers build and maintain local trails. Your membership dues go to the Alaska Dirt Divas to pay for: trail user fees, insurance, printing fliers, maintaining a PO box, the group IMBA membership and other expenses that arise in organizing rides and clinics. There is no paid staff - everyone is a volunteer.

Your dues are critical to keeping this club running. So, we hope you'll join us for a ride. If, after joining for one ride you think this is the group for you, you should join and pay the dues - just $30 for the year. To get a membership form, go to this link.

Rides are scheduled for April through September. Most rides will be held on Wednesday evenings, plus we'll have some rides on Thursday evenings. Most clinics are on Mondays. Members have the opportunity to network online with one-another to set up alternative rides that fit their schedules. Bookmark this site to make it easier for you to check back for more information on rides and clinics.

Our Roots

Members of the former Alaska chapter of WOMBATS (Women's Mountain Bike & Tea Society) founded the new club in early December, 2007. Some of us were involved in the Alaska chapter since it started back in 2000. The main difference is that this is a locally-based club, instead of a chapter of a national club.
