Les Femmes de Montagne – Translated as “Mountain Women”, Upstate SORBA is introducing a women's-only group ride program at Paris (but, of course!) Mountain State Park.

Our objective is to introduce more women to mountain biking in a supportive, fun and friendly environment; increase physical fitness; and build an appreciation for the outdoors.
