Program Description

The Elkridge, MD Weekly Program offers five recurring mountain bike riding sessions in the fall. Open to riders of all abilities, the focus of each session is fun, allowing each girl to make new friends, learn new skills, and build confidence, all in a positive, fun environment.

The girls will benefit from riding a skills park AND a pump track! Whether it's riding through a color powder tunnel or playing bike limbo, the program strives to create an environment built around having fun and learning the skills of mountain biking.

Meeting and riding once a week, girls and mentors (we don't coach, we mentor) will participate in various activities, rides, and games all as a way to work on a mountain bike skills progression. The girls will be given healthy challenges to test and grow their skills but in a friendly, fun, safe environment. This program is for riding and fun and is not focused on competition.

Financial assistance is available if needed and we also have equipment available through our Gear Up program! Please communicate any of these needs when filling out the registration form for the program.

Program Lead

Lindsay Norsworthy
[email protected]

Lindsay grew up in Baltimore, Maryland (let’s go O’s!), and it was a varied career path that led her to Little Bellas. After practicing law in Los Angeles, she moved home to the east coast, where she taught elementary school in Baltimore City. Next, she started and managed a pet sitting business for seven years. But when the pandemic began, she devoted her time to keeping herself and her daughters as healthy as possible, both physically and mentally. They discovered the Great Outdoors and fell in love with biking, hiking, camping, skiing, and adventure racing. Lindsay wholeheartedly believes that the women’s mountain biking community can’t be beat when it comes to inclusivity, empowerment, and fun! And finding her passion for mountain biking in her forties has taught her that no one is the wrong age, gender, shape, or size to take a risk and try something new!
