See if there's one near you!
UPDATE!: Little Bellas is introducing four five new chapters this year and adding two programs to areas with high demand! Did you know that our general goal is to “get more girls on bikes,” and you know what? Thanks to you, it’s working!
Sound the trumpets, we are super stoked to announce our new 2025 Little Bellas programs! There are a couple of familiar places but then there are four new spaces that will be hosting Little Bellas programs this season. Welcome Columbus, Ga., Brevard, N.C., Hurricane, W.Va., Madison, Wisc., and the Win Man Trails, also in Wisconsin! And congrats to Elkridge, Md. and Park City, Utah, each of which are adding new programs to create greater access for girls to reach their fullest potential through cycling!
Columbus, Georgia
Columbus is a late addition to the 2025 roster, and we're very quickly realizing what a hidden gem looks like in western Georgia. Area residents wanted a trail system so badly that they collected more than two million dollars of private funding to build the Standing Boy Trails. Volunteers also donated thousands of hours and now mountain bikers from all over descend on Columbus to sample the sweet singletrack there. The new Columbus Little Bellas will get a taste for trail riding too, starting on Monday, September 8 at 5 p.m.

Brevard, North Carolina
Olympic gold medalist, Jolanda Neff, was just in Brevard as part of a publicity tour for her new mountain bike team. Not Bentonville, Ark., not Durango, Colo. and not even her native Switzerland, but Brevard. And for good reason since Brevard is home to some of the most iconic mountain biking trails in the Southeast.
The new Little Bellas Brevard Weekly Program will take place on Tuesday nights from August 5 to September 23 at the scenic DuPont State Recreational Forest - Guion Farm Access Area, one of the top mountain biking destinations in North Carolina.

Hurricane, W.Va.
The person responsible for bringing Little Bellas to Hurricane (pronounced “Hurrican”) is Julie Samples, a second-grade teacher at Lakeside Elementary with a passion for inspiring her students to love the outdoors. As a coach/ambassador at an annual primitive mountain bike camp, she noticed that the middle school girls radiated confidence, which is how she learned about Little Bellas. She has brought Little Bellas to Hurricane to give girls in her community the chance to gain that confidence she saw in the girls at the mountain bike camp.
In weekly sessions starting on April 8, mentors, girls, and Julie will meet at Hurricane City Park and Meeks Mountain Trails to focus on improving skills and strengthening bonds away from classrooms and screens.

Madison, Wisc.
Former Athens, Ga. Little Bellas mentor, Grace Anne Ogle, has brought her brand of motivation and experience home to Madison. All she needed was somewhere to hold a Little Bellas program, and Madison more than delivered.
“The greatest strength of mountain biking in Madison is its accessibility,” she said. “Our city has an incredible network of bike paths both in town and leading further afield out into the countryside. The quintessential mountain bike ride for my friends is to ride from our homes to several bike parks that are all along the main bike path, and then to finish with refreshments downtown before riding home.”
The Madison Little Bellas is an all-girls mountain bike program held weekly at Quarry Ridge Recreation Area starting September 8 and finishing on October 27.

WinMan Trails, Wisc.
Those in-the-know will tell you that the WinMan Trails are the most amazing combination of fun, flowy, smooth, anyone-can-ride trails, and challenging trails filled with features to satisfy the most advanced mountain biker. Once a local secret, word about the trail system has gotten out and now attracts visitors who descend upon WinMan for their summer vacations because WinMan has a little something for everyone.
“WinMan is a very family-oriented place with lots of skills areas, a pump track, and fun runs right near the chalet to keep kids and adults having fun and learning bike skills for hours!” said Val Foley, who is the lead for the Little Bellas Rhinelander program and has now brought the program to WinMan. “The trails are professionally crafted — even most of the advanced trails have a ride-around so that everyone can enjoy the ride!”
People travel from all over the country to enjoy the miles of mountain bike trails, which make WinMan kind of perfect for the Little Bellas Half Day Camp from July 7-11.

All girls deserve the same opportunities to get on a bike, regardless of location or financial situation. Each year Little Bellas adds new programs in certain areas because someone there strongly believed in getting more girls on bikes. This year we are extremely proud to add an unprecedented six new programs to the Little Bellas season. Welcome to our new programs!
