Crank Sisters is Evergreen's all-women riding community — an inclusive space for women and femme-identifying riders of all levels. Founded within the Cascades to Sound Chapter, the program has grown to chapters across Washington, offering free group rides, dig days, and community events year-round.

Whether you're brand new to mountain biking or a seasoned rider looking for community, Crank Sisters has a ride for you. All skill levels welcome. All rides free.

Group Rides

Annually, our team of over 30 ride leaders post over 100 free rides in Western Washington and throughout the Pacific Northwest. Our collective goal is to make sure each rider or leader fearlessly pursues their biking goals regardless of their riding level. Each of us places a special focus on the needs of riders and are committed to helping them feel supported, encouraged, and never left behind. We even offer co-ed rides when there's interest!

Volunteer Dig Days with Post Shuttle Ride

We all love to get dirty, have fun, and get to know our fellow riders better. Crank Sisters hosts quarterly volunteer dig days to give back to the trails we all love to ride. After our hard work we go on an After-Dig Shuttle ride to extend the fun and do what we all love!

Progression Rides

Our 101 Series at Raging, Tiger, and Snoqualmie Summit is our guided intro to these trails, perfect for confident riders looking to explore new terrain or step up to more challenging lines. Designed for intermediate and advanced riders.

Community Events

Crank Sisters offers two annual riding events to bring our community together — Crank into Spring and Mudd is the New Black. For some post ride fun, we've added music, raffles, food, and some special surprises too. We also participate in so many other areas such as Evergreen led events, grand openings of trails, races, and film festivals … to name a few!

Specialty Rides

We celebrate special holidays, meaningful days, and special populations of riders. Our Santa and Halloween rides are always a huge hit. Our most popular specialty ride is Hot Laps with Littles — a casual meet up from pump tracks to mellow trails perfect for our littlest riders and their moms (even some dads)!

Race Course Prep

Many of our ride leaders participate in the race circuit. We offer pre-training rides for upcoming races to help you prep for your race. Please reach out to us if there's a race you would like to take practice runs on with our ride leaders!

Rides & Events

Every level.

Crank Sisters free rides run weekly throughout the year, ranging from beginner-friendly social rides to intermediate and advanced group rides. We ride trails across the greater Seattle area and beyond — Tiger Mountain, Grand Ridge, Raging River, Snoqualmie Bike Park, and more.

Co-ed Rides
