Join us at Bryce on July 11-13th, 2025 for an exhilarating weekend of adventure, camaraderie, and empowerment with the 3rd annual "Women+ Takeover at Bryce"!

The weekend is designed for riders and industry folk who are looking for a fun and inclusive environment. The goal is to celebrate the riders and leaders in our region who participate in and push the mountain bike industry towards a place for all!

The weekend will be full of clinics, socials, shuttles, and rides on and off the mountain!

weekend activities include: 

We have several options for you to attend the TakeOver.  All of the packages include:

Bike Park Lift tickets- for weekend packages, your ticket is good all day Saturday and Sunday.  For one day options, your ticket is good for the one day you select.  Friday lift tickets are sold separately.   

Workshops- several great topics are offered on physical and mental well being and bike maintenance skills.       

Group rides- to Lake Laura w/ the chance to jump in the lake!        

Expo- there will be a variety of vendors from the bike industry as well as others we thought you would enjoy.   

T-Shirt- included with all packages if registered by June 6th.  Limited supply for sale at the festival.

Panel Discussion - join us for a lively and informative talk with our coaches and industry pros.  It's always a hit!

Happy Hour / Sponsored by Moxie Cycling Co. - great time to hang with your new friends!   

DownDuro Race / Sponsored by Radical Custom Apparel - this is a one run downhill race on a blue/intermediate course.  Take part in the largest women's only downwhill race that we know of! Beginners welcome and cheered on!      

Beach Access to Lake Laura - Chill out and cool down at the lake.

Backcountry Shuttles / Sponsored by SHREDLY - (Extra fee) - get rowdy with your friends in the National Forest on these guided rides.  **Must be a strong intermediate rider or above.      

Camping - (Extra fee) - we have a nice grass covered / shady space just 2 miles from the resort.  Tents and campers welcome.  Porta-Potty provided, no showers.                     

FULL ACCESS  WEEKEND PACKAGE WITH 2 CLINCS:  This is the pinnacle TakeOver experience!  Most participants choose this option as a way to continue progressing their skills.  (With this selection, you get everything included in the list above + 2 Skills clinics).  Must be age 12 & over to take clinics.   

After selecting the “Full Access Weekend” category box on registration, you will then select one (2.5 hour) clinic each day.It can be either an AM or PM clinic, (total of one each day) for an overall total of 2 for the weekend.  We do not offer clinics to single-day tickets because we don't feel it promotes the community building that the TakeOver is all about.   

JUNIOR SHREDDER PACKAGE -  New this year, we have an option for juniors ages 8-11.  Riders can be any ability level and will stay together as a group.  They will have a dedicated coach with them for the day for more of a “summer camp” style experience.  They will get coaching, some bike set up and mechanic skills & have time to rip tons of laps!  They may attend any of the workshops we offer and are encouraged to race the DownDuro.

**All coaching is included with this package.  Do not make additional clinic selections from the registration list for Junior Shredders.                                                                                                                                                                                             

THE SKILLS CLINICS: 

We have assembled 10 of the most experienced professional coaches in our region and offer a wide variety of clinics and ability levels. There's something for everyone.      

It can be tricky to determine your skill level when signing up for clinics.  We aren't always the best judge of our own skills and abilities!  To help you with that, we have labeled our clinics with a rating of Level 1 to Level 3.  Please consider your experience and skill for each different clinic topic, not necessarily your overall skill as a rider.  We hope this makes it easier for you to select the appropriate clinic.     

Keep in mind, mountain bike progression is not necessarily linear.  You may be a Level 3 for one skill set and a Level 1 for another.  For instance, you may be an Elite XC racer who crushes technical terrain at a Level 3.  But you have never learned to Jump, so you should sign up for a Level 1 Jump Clinic.     

If you have any questions about which clinics to sign up for, please contact us and ask.         

 Skill Clinic Levels - Described

• LEVEL 1: 

  • You’re a novice rider or you’re new to the topic being taught.  Focus is on building a strong foundation for this skill set to grow on.  

  • You’re looking for a good refresher on the topic to build your confidence.

  • You want to learn correct techniques or break bad habits.

**For Level 1 Jumps and Drops: you have little to no experience with jumps or drops and are learning them for the first time.  Or you have some experience, but have never taken a lesson for Jumps or Drops and want to ensure that your skills are solid before advancing.    

• LEVEL 2:

  • You’re comfortable with the fundamentals for the topic and are still working to make them happen automatically.

  • You have good bike handling skills and you’re comfortable riding a variety of terrain.  

  • You want to ensure your skills on the topic before moving to more advanced techniques. 

**For Level 2 Jumps and Drops: you have some experience with small jumps and drops, but want to solidify the proper techniques so you can advance with confidence.  It’s preferred that you have taken a prior Jump/Drop lesson.     

• LEVEL 3:

  • You have strong bike handling skills.
