Note From Manda (Founder of The MTB Exchange)

My spouse and I rode a 7 Day fully supported Sacred Rides adventure in the Kootenays…

Our trip was nearly vetoed when a couple that had also booked our date cancelled due to COVID. To our delight, Matt Paul one of the owners of Sacred Rides, stepped up and participated as a rider so we could continue as planned. Through the time I spent with Matt we really got to know each other and I shared in our mission of helping to build mountain biking in our respective fields. Matt was really interested in how I was able to unite women mountain biking in Ontario through a club ride sharing program.

The question was asked; how could he attract more women riders to consider travelling with other women to experience destination rides?

Matt expressed that when booking excursions of 6-12 people, he seldom has an “all female” booking. This wasn’t the case of course with the men.

“why do women not feel comfortable booking a destination trip, knowing it will only be the girls?”

What if we could build a program within our current model to provide our ridership a women’s only destination mountain bike experience, giving them an opportunity to access a fully guided and supported mountain bike experience at an affordable point of entry, while building their relationship with The MTB Exchange and it’s membership?

That’s why we’re launching Project R.A.D (Rider, Adventure, Destinations)
