We have missed you, but we have been busy planning for our upcoming 2025 MTB season.
Do we ever have some exciting things coming up:
Our Board of Directors has grown from 3 to 7 awesome women+ MTB riders, and with that comes fresh ideas, fresh energy, new perspectives, new events and awesome workshops for you and our growing community. Please welcome Jade, Izzy, Sarah and Vanessa to the team!
We have confirmed sponsorship support renewal from Adidas/5.10 and Steed Cycles, as well as Tandem Photography, Wild Eye Brewery, North Point Brewing, Bike Fit Online Training, & Sam's Adventure Truck
Our Season opener this year is Saturday April 26th: A ride for all levels on Fromme (Meet at Washrooms above parking lot) & complimentary BBQ @ Steed Cycles! Save the date here!
We are shifting our Weekly Tuesday Group Rides to be organized by our community on our Discord Channels! Let's build more community and connections by inviting other Sirens to join your ride depending on what level you're feeling.
We are now a whopping 152 Shore Sirens Members! We can hardly believe it... (Memberships are up for renewal 1 year from your purchase - as we started April 9th 2024.
This is your friendly reminder that if you signed up for auto renewal, you will automatically be charged for the 2025 season! Please make sure you check you settings to avoid any issues.
We are looking for a Social Media Assistant -- please email us at shoresirens@gmail.com if you are interested in helping Cathleen create content and manage our Instagram account! #help
Mentorship Program
We are so excited to be accepting applicants for the Siren's 2025 Mentorship Program season. This is such a great opportunity for everyone to hone in on their skills, make new friends and give back to the community! (Adidas/5.10 is giving each Mentor a pair of Free Freeride Pro shoes too!)
We're changing it up this year - the program will run for a 2 month period over May and June to accommodate everyone's busy summer schedules. We're hoping this will jump start your skills after winter and set you up for the season 🙌 A group social will kick off the season early May.
Bike Mechanic Workshops @ Steed Cycles
We are happy to be partnering with Steed Cycles and their female mechanic Bridget Penny this year to offer bike mechanics workshops (for members)! Based on your feedback, this season’s evening sessions will cover how to service your drivetrain, tubeless tires and suspension, as well as on-trail fixes and pre-season tune up. Each workshop costs $25, with $5 from each ticket sold being donated to Indigenous Women Outdoors.
April 3rd is our first Pre-Season Bike Mechanic Workshop, and you can register here!
Trail Days!
The Sirens got down and digging last year, and we’ve got more dig days planned for this upcoming season! Show your love for our trails and join us for a day of trail maintenance on 7th Secret, our TAP-sponsored trail, thanks to Adidas Five-Ten. All are welcome; no experience is necessary! You’ll learn about trail maintenance and some classic North Shore features, like armouring and water management. Our first two events are up on the Discord so check it out.
Queer and Allies Rides
The Queers & Allies ride will be back, stronger than ever this year! We're currently in the works of planning 4 rides - May 3rd, June 28th, August 2nd and September 4th. Come out and show your support for a Mountain Biking community that celebrates inclusion and diversity. Also bring your friends as they do not need a membership to join. Even if you cannot make the ride, you're more than welcome to join us in our socials where we give out cool prizes, awesome drinks and great vibes.
Hope to see ya'll this season!
Sirens Coastal Collective - June 21-22 2025 @ Coast Gravity Park
With inspiring clubs all along the Sea-to-Sky and from the Island to the Fraser Valley, this is our chance to come together, make new friends, and celebrate the incredible spirit of our community. Whether you're new to bike parks or a seasoned pro, this is your opportunity to ride, connect, and be part of something bigger!
Spots are limited—register now and spread the word!
