The Dirt Girls are a group of women in the Missoula, MT area that get together each Tuesday evening to mountain bike & hike. We formed in 2001 as a way to enjoy the outdoors with other women.

We begin biking after the time change in the spring and start hiking when daylight savings ends in the fall.

The women's mountain bike rides are geared for beginner/intermediate riders. We try and gear the ride to the slowest rider and wait at turns and key points. The goal is to make sure everyone has a good time while building riding skills.

The hikes take place in the dark and we stick together unless it is an out and back. Headlamps can help but are not required on many hikes. Foot grippers/Yak trax are highly recommended once the snow flies. For info on making your own screw shoes check out this site  http://build.tripod.lycos.com/trellix/sitebuilder/f_edit_page.html

Any woman can join. There is no cost. We don't have meetings- we just hike, bike or ski. The mountain bike rides are geared to the beginner/intermediate level. Feel free to join us. Our goal is to make sure everyone has a good time.


To find out about the rides or hikes just email Julie at msbicycle@gmail.com. Weekly emails go out telling you when and where we are meeting each Tuesday.
