a community for women who ride & hike
You don't need permission to thrive outside.
She Thrives Outside is a no-drop crew of women who bikepack and backpack together — beginners welcome, ego left at the trailhead.
What makes this special?
Every local trip is 100% free.
Gear, food, and route planning are all included — no cost, no barrier. Money should never be the reason a woman doesn't get outside.
Ready to explore the outdoors on two wheels? This one-night bikepacking trip in the mountains near Bend, Oregon is perfect for anyone curious about bikepacking — whether you're brand new to it or simply looking for a fun, supportive crew to ride with.
We'll spend the first evening getting bikes set up and gear dialed in so you feel confident and ready before we even hit the trail. The following day we'll kick off the ride — around 20 miles each day at a relaxed pace, with plenty of time to soak in the scenery, fuel up on sweet treats, and connect with other riders.
