Ranch Camp III - No Boys Allowed
The Girls are once again taking over the Kamloops Bike Ranch to create the third annual Ranch Camp.
What: Kamloops Ranch Camp, Third Edition NO Boys Allowed
When: May 9 to 10, 2015
Type: Gravity
Cost: $365 CDN
Join an accomplished selection of professional female coach/riders from their respected programs and start your bike season off right. This weekend was designed to enhance the female rider who can shred with the boys but is looking to progress, and warmly welcomes the eager beginner who wants to figure everything out.
Smaller numbers, higher coach to guest ratio, an informative Friday evening tech session with Q&A aprés are just some of the unique aspects of this niche camp.

The Kamloops Bike Ranch is a great venue to start or progress your level of comfort in the air.
Our weekend begins at 6 pm on Friday at the Bicycle Cafe where we'll go over suspension (SAG), understanding handlebar width, lever position plus the science behind it.
Proper suspension set up is key and Cheryl and her staff at the Bike Cafe have been trained by Fox Racing Shox among others, to ensure your bike is custom tuned to your needs.

After all the technical bike set up is done, a Q&A aprés will be held to answer your questions on gear, women's products plus any other bike related topics you want to learn.
Questions submitted with your registration will grant you entry for Friday night draw for a pair of the newly released (and awesomely comfortable) Five Ten Women's Freerider shoe.
A day at Ranch Camp wouldn't be complete without a pre-shred stretch ...

Our riding days will start with a quick body warm up to maintain longevity and range of motion to our key biking joints.
CLIF Bar will again keep us nourished with the traditional products we love, as well as adding their Organic Trail Mix Bar for us to taste. To keep us optimally hydrated, Sport Oxylent will be joining us to keep our weekend electrolytes, antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins and minerals in check in the dry desert heat.
To enhance the weekend even more Five Ten, Troy Lee Designs, Race Face, CLIF Bar, Sport Oxylent and dirtyjane.com are also giving prizing for you girls to take home. Stoked to be giving away some of my favorite and 'essential' gear with more Five Ten Freerider shoes, a rad TLD lid and some product gems from Race Face.
SheJumps, a non-profit organization founded by professional skiers Lindsey Dyer, Vanessa Pierce and Claire Smallwood to increase female participation in outdoor activities is also supporting Ranch Camp with a special riders choice prize.
It's going to be a good weekend.
We access the trails at the Kamloops Bike Ranch via a paved road shuttle. Our weekend lifts will be provided by Mostly Mental Shuttles and they have getting riders to the top of all Kamloops trails dialed.

We don't want to discriminate and would love to advance and refine you guys and have made options available to create dude or coed programming at the Ranch or places like Whistler.

They have solid skills themselves along with a good eye to make strong riders better too ...
