Happy Valley Women's Cycling Bike Retreat

GRIP Getaway 2026

GRIP stands for Grow, Renew, Inspire, and Purpose — and that’s exactly what we hope you take away from this weekend bike retreat.

Hosted by Happy Valley Women’s Cycling, GRIP Getaway is an inclusive, community-focused weekend filled with riding, learning, and meaningful connection.

Our team is here to support you on your bike journey — whether that means improving bike handling skills, building confidence, or setting goals for your own unique riding path. This guided weekend event takes place in beautiful Central Pennsylvania and includes rides, workshops, and skills training for road, gravel, and mountain bike riders of all levels.

In 2026, get ready for an unforgettable adventure with guided gravel and mountain bike rides through the breathtaking Rothrock State Forest — just minutes from our “base camp” at the Wyndham Garden Inn State College.

Take your bike handling skills to the next level with clinics led by PMBIA Certified Instructors, whether you're brand new to trails or looking to refine advanced techniques. Most importantly, you’ll connect with other women who share your passion for riding and growth.

What Past Attendees Are Saying

“I just wanted to send a quick personal note to thank you, and all who helped, for putting on the retreat... It was well thought out, well organized, and just a really nice day. I learned a lot and it was nice meeting a bunch of unique and special ladies. I left feeling renewed and more confident at the possibility of spending more time on a bike and on the beautiful mountain gravel roads.”
