Women in Moto at Callus Raceway – Saturday, October 14!
It’s time for the ladies to hit the trails and track at the 2023 Liberty CC-NSORRA Women In Moto event in conjunction with East Coast Women Offroad!
Here’s your chance to meet, socialize and ride with other amazing women and girls at Callus Raceway on Saturday, October 14. We’ve alternated the sessions for Beginner and Intermediate to allow every participant the opportunity to try all activities.
What’s Happening?
The day will start of with a t-shirt for each registrant, before hitting the trails and track then pausing for a barbecue lunch and prizes before returning to the trails and track with some really impressive women riders. The day finishes with free ride time on the track and trails.
Here's what we have planned. It's a day you don't want to miss!
Intro to Dirt Biking session
Have you ever wanted to learn to ride a dirt bike? We have certified coaches on hand to teach you the basics during this mini-course (not the certificate course).
