Supporting Women Ride Leaders in NB

This month Velo NB worked with Womens Ride Leaders from around the province to participate in a Level 1 PMBIA training course. These Ride Leaders are part of their local communities, participating and organizing in local groups that promote women in cycling. Velo NB started working on this project in 2019, but due to COVID restrictions we had to postpone for a couple of years. We want to thank former president Melissa Bordage for starting the project, Julie Levesque for organizing, PMBIA for facilitating, and the Government of New Brunswick for funding. 

The following is from Julie Levesque our Women’s Cycling Chair

Une belle initiative de la part de Velo NB a permis de rassembler des femmes passionnées de vélo de montagne à devenir instructeures.


Une certification PMBIA – Niveau 1 a été offerte à Edmundston pour permettre l’avancement des femmes et des filles dans le cyclisme de montagne.


Provenant de différentes communautés du notre province, elles ont échangé des apprentissages tout en y trouvant le plaisir de se dépasser. Un bel engouement afin de transmettre la pratique du vélo de montagne dans un milieu sécuritaire et inclusif !


Félicitations à toutes les participantes !

A great initiative on the part of Velo NB has brought together women passionate about mountain biking to become instructors.
A level 1 PMBIA certification was offered in Edmundston to enable the advancement of women and girls in mountain cycling.

Coming from different communities in our province, they exchanged learnings while finding the pleasure of surpassing themselves. A great enthusiasm to transmit the practice of mountain biking in a safe and inclusive environment!


Congratulations to all the participants!

The Bear Necessities of Woolastook Park

The Woolastook 4 Hour XCM has been on the schedule for years here in New Brunswick. Hosted by River Valley Cycling it’s been well attended, and has held a number of spots on the mountain bike calendar. This year it held the next to last spot, and the late August sun brought out a number of riders for the event. With two races left in the Velo NB Mountain Bike Points Series, riders were out looking to score that last extra bit in order to set them up for the challenge of Elgin. [Continue Reading…]
