UK MTB EVENTS 2024

At Shred Like a Girl, we had an incredible year of UK mountain bike events throughout 2024. Here's a recap of where we were and what we got up to—whether it was setting up a stall, racing, or just hanging out. We appreciate everyone who joined us along the way! We can't wait to share what events we'll be heading to in 2025 as Unbound Collective! 

Stall at Events:

With the same great activities and the same great venue! Come and join us for a women’s weekend of mountain biking, meeting new people and trying new things. You can certainly count on a fun-filled weekend, from pushing your limits on the airbag, or having a taster coaching session, to kicking back with a beer and watching the carnage of the dual slalom race unfold. The weekend is for everyone, bring along your families to enjoy a camping weekend (camping included with the tickets) and boys & girls under 8 go free!
