Registration is now open for Trek’s Dirt Series mountain bike skills camps for women.

The Dirt Series is an instructional program aims to bring mountain biking to women in a fun, supportive and energetic way.

The Dirt Series began in 2000 as a British Columbia provincial development initiative, an effort both to bring more women into the sport and to fuel the passion of those already committed to it.

In the ten years following, it has expanded from its Whistler base throughout B.C. and Alberta and into Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Utah and Colorado. It has added in some co-ed programs to its original women’s only camps, combined with some incredible industry partners, and developed to a point where it presents between 15 and 20 camps annually.

Everywhere the program has gone, it has left a community of inspired mountain bikers in its wake. From those picking up mountain biking as a new outdoor sport, to those breaking through barriers after years of experience, the Dirt Series has created a legacy of fun, support, energy, and success.

The dates for the 2010 Camps are as follows:
