OVERVIEW
Cat Camp is a multi-day cycling experience for WTFNB (women, trans, femme, non-binary) riders of various ages, disciplines, and ability levels in Frederick, Maryland.
Directed by Alex Forte Howell of Dirty Kitten Racing/Dirty Kitten Gravel and her crew, Cat Camp is designed specifically for those who are interested in road cycling and gravel riding with a side of mountain biking. We offer a variety of supported rides (road, gravel, mountain), skills clinics, training sessions, discussions, and activities.
Cat Camp is an opportunity to "get away" from the hustle and bustle of daily life, spend a few days riding bikes, learn important skills, and meet new people. It's a unique cycling experience you won't forget!
LOCATION
We will be riding in both the valley and mountains around the area. The temperature changes drastically depending on elevation and location so be prepared. Bring both cold & warm weather cycling apparel and be ready for a variety of weather conditions. The lows can be in the 30s while the highs can be in the 60s. If in doubt, bring it with you!
