Limitlass: Next Gen

Inspiring the next generation of riders.

Limitlass: Next Gen is a one-day mountain bike event created especially for girls aged 7–15 designed to build confidence, develop skills, and help young riders feel part of something bigger.

Taking place at Bike Glenlivet on 6 June 2026, Next Gen is about more than riding bikes. It’s about creating a fun, supportive environment where girls can learn, laugh, try new things, and meet others who love riding too. Delivered by an all-female coaching and delivery team, it’s rooted in everything Limitlass stands for: community, empowerment, and positive first experiences that last long beyond the day itself.

This is the very first Limitlass: Next Gen — and we’re excited to shape something meaningful from the very beginning.

What is Limitlass: Next Gen?

A joyful, confidence-building mountain bike day for girls aged 7–15.

Through coached riding sessions, creative workshops, and playful bike activities, Next Gen helps girls:

  • Build confidence on their bikes

  • Learn new skills in a supportive environment

  • Make riding friends

  • Feel part of a welcoming community

Whether your child is brand new to trails or already loves riding, Next Gen is designed to meet them where they’re at.

What the day looks like

Skills, confidence, creativity — and lots of fun.

Coaching sessions
Girls take part in age and experience appropriate coaching, focused on bike control, confidence and enjoying the trails. Sessions are led by experienced female coaches who know how to create encouraging, pressure-free learning spaces.

Drop-in workshops
Alongside riding, girls can dip in and out of creative and bike-focused activities including badge making, colouring, ramps and obstacles, pump-track style sessions, and bike anatomy games — helping build knowledge as well as confidence.

Why this matters

Girls are far more likely to stay involved in sport when they feel supported, see women and girls like them leading the activity, and have positive social experiences — not just performance-driven ones.

Because there are fewer girls in mountain biking, many don’t have friends who ride. Limitlass: Next Gen brings girls together, helping them make biking buddies and feel part of a community.

It’s about building skills and confidence — but also helping girls find their people on bikes.

Next Gen is delivered entirely by an all-female coaching and delivery team, offering young riders visible role models and creating an environment where girls feel safe, supported and encouraged to try new things.

    Participants should have some experience riding a mountain bike and be able to ride independently, but they do not need to be advanced riders. This is about learning, building confidence and having fun — not racing or being the fastest.

  • No — they don’t need to be amazing! As long as they’re comfortable riding a bike off‑road and keen to learn, they’ll fit right in. Coaching groups will be split by age and ability to ensure everyone feels supported and challenged at the right level.

    To help create a relaxed, confidence-building environment, we encourage parents to allow girls to head off with their coaches and take part independently. Coaching sessions and workshops are designed for participants, and we find girls often engage more fully when they have a little space to learn, try new things and make friends on their own.

    You’re very welcome to stay nearby if you prefer — enjoy the café, explore the trails, or head out for a ride yourself.

    We’ll also be looking for a small number of parent volunteers to support the day. If you’d like to get involved, please get in touch. Experience working with children or MTB/coaching qualifications are a bonus, but not essential.
