Question:
What is better than Mountain Biking in Sedona?
Answer:
Mountain Biking in Sedona with hundreds of your lady-friends during the Roam Bike Fest!
In the desert of Sedona this past October the second annual Roam Bike Fest West was held at the Red Agave Resort. Thanks to the amazing organization of Roam Events (Ash and Andi) as well as the companies that made the event such a huge success! The ladyshred community is strong, supportive and super fun. If you have not yet been to one of the Roam Bike Fests then I really don’t know what you are waiting for.
Perhaps what follows will persuade you.
Here is a photo recap of the Roam Bike Fest West 2018. Be sure to join us for the 2019 Roam Bike Fests for the Ladies only, either in Brevard, NC or Sedona, AZ. You’ll be glad you did and come away with great memories and so many new #ladyshred friends.
The schedule was jam packed with group rides, workshops, food, drink, raffles and much much more.
Plenty of important SWAG was made especially for this event, including this revolutionary Ibis branded stainless steel “fluid carrying device” for your fanny pack.
Shirts, socks, packs, clothing…..Roam Bike Fest East had it all.
There was plenty of riding and the views weren’t too bad either :}
Did we mention the riding was amazing?
Oh and the views? Not terrible!
The industry panel, hot tub on site and red powder to shred, with some breathtaking scenery right outside the venue made the event super special.
The raffle was impressive not only in the speed, but also the amazing raffle items from all attending vendors!
Rocky Mountain, Pivot, Ibis, Liv, Juliana, Specialized provided the bike demos. Industry Nine and Ergon were there swapping wheels and saddles for participants to test.
Hermosa Tours provided the shuttles!
All the fun was had, riding down Slim Shady back to the venue every day.
Getting up at the crack of dawn Saturday morning was not easy, but worth it. Katie Holden, Jill Kitner and Katie Lozanich hosted the Sunrise Phone-tography Workshop. It was a highlight of the festival.
The industry panel was great and a nice chance to rest up before the animal dance party. Sorry, no photos were taken of that, I was a polar bear, and polar bears don’t have thumbs! Let’s just say it was fun and leave it at that.
50% of the dynamic duo that makes up Roam Events, Andi Zolton! Thanks for sporting our socks Andi and congrats on getting hitched you two! I can’t imagine what kind of event that will be.Meet some of the ladies that made the festival such a huge success.
