Roam Fest Fruita | A Women + Femme MTB Festival

Roam Fest is a three-day femme bike party in a world-class ride destination

"I went out on a limb and went to Roam Fest completely solo without knowing a single soul. I wasn't sure if that was normal or how the weekend would turn out, but the website made it look pretty fun and welcoming and boy, did I make the right decision. The community of women at Roam was so supportive, so rad, welcoming and open. It was like summer camp for adult women who love to shred. I made some friends for life, got in some incredible riding, grew and challenged myself as a rider, enjoyed some baller demos, took in the energy from some unreal scenery and am still on cloud nine after my experience. "

- Kristina, Roam Fest Participant

QUEER, FTWN-B (Femme Trans Women Non-Binary), BIPOC (Black Indigenous People of Color), & FAT CYCLISTS ARE WELCOME!

20% Pledge: Creating equity in the outdoors starts with action and access. We pledge to hold 20% of our event registration for BIPOC riders and proudly have a historical BIPOC attendance rate of over 20%.

"It quickly became apparent that Roam takes their pledge to create an inclusive space very seriously. I decided to trust & I’m so grateful I did! Not only because that was one of the most epic weekends I’ve had on a bike (truly). But also because of how it changed and inspired me. I rode in the breathtaking high desert with incredible humans. I didn’t desiccate. I learned about hubs, how to properly care for my bike, and how to fix a flat. I danced with new friends under the stars for hours. And I felt like I belonged. Not just on a mountain bike, but in a community of BIPoC that play outside."

- Diana, Roam Fest participant and Founder of @riding_in_color_wnc

DEMO FESTIVAL PASS - WHY DEMO IS DIFFERENT AT ROAM FEST

• We work closely with our demo partners (mostly women!) to curate a fleet of bikes in frame sizes that trend femme - you'll find more x-small and small bikes at Roam Fest than most demo events on the planet.
• We offer size-specific demo passes (with a few extra bikes in each size for you cuspy riders out there) so you can have peace-of-mind that there will always be a bike in your size available to take out and slap a lap.
• We rely on the honor system for all this to work. Please only purchase a demo pass if there is one available in your size.

• XXS | Generally 4'8" - 4'10"
• XS | Generally 4'11" - 5'2"
• S | Generally 5'3" - 5'5"
