If you like to ride your bike, swim in lakes, camp under the stars, get a massage, eat, drink, be merry and win prizes… this could be the summer vacation you’ve been waiting for….

Come on out for a “women’s only” mountain bike camp getaway. Situated in the beautiful and historic mountain town of New Denver (near Nelson, BC). On the shores of Slocan Lake, the surroundings couldn’t be more perfect for a summer weekend of mountain adventure. With trails, instruction and progressions for all levels of riders.

The camp features two days of instruction from Endless Biking’s top professionals: Kelli Sherbinin, Danika Schroeter, Johanna Weintrager & Deb MacKillop.

Thank you SO MUCH for tonight’s class!

I cannot even describe the elation that I am STILL feeling – what a truly amazing experience it all was for me today. I had so many breakthroughs tonight that I’ve lost count of them! I definitely pushed myself outside of my comfort zone and found that it was all okay. I now can’t wait to go try out my newly found skills on the trails. If my entire course fee went straight into this one class, it would have been worth it!

WOW! Thanks again & looking forward to next week! Susan

Endless Biking was recently featured in one of North Vancouver’s newspapers, the North Shore Outlook. The Outlook covered the variety and accessibility of programs at EB as well as the quality of the programs available.
