Board Meetings
Our Board meetings occur once a month. Apart from the first meeting after our AGM, all members are invited and encouraged to attend meetings. This is your chance to provide input, volunteer with the club, and get involved. If you would like to attend a Board meeting and/or would like a copy of our Board minutes, please email us.
President
Rachael has been mountain biking on and off since 2000 in the UK. Moving to Victoria in 2022, access to the amazing local trails reignited her stoke for biking. The Dirty Girlz was instrumental in connecting her with a community of awesome women in Victoria.
Vice President
Mélissa B. began riding in 2023. She was looking for new ways to challenge herself. The forest is her happy place, so it didn’t take long for her to become addicted to the sport. You can hear her familiar ‘Pew Pew’!! when she rides, especially when done climbing. Mélissa enjoys cheering on others, celebrating wins (big or small), and creating a safe and fun environment for woman to enjoy mountain biking.
Treasurer
A lifelong Mountain Biker wannabe, Mafalda finally took up the sport when a soccer teammate took her on her first ride at The Dump in 2019 and hasn’t looked back. She credits the Dirty Girlz for helping her improve her confidence and technical skills. “I’ve made so many friends and love riding with such a diverse group of women.”
Secretary
Sika has been riding since 2021 and loving every minute of it, even when she complains on the climbs. Riding with Dirty Girlz has been a life-changing experience because they pack so much fun and adventure into every ride!
Director
You might hear Stacey, aka the Wizard, before you see her – she can be loud! Stacey got into mountain biking in 2004, when her then 9-year-old son excitedly stated “Mom you have to try this!” after taking a summer mountain biking camp. She tried it, loved it, and is still riding — albeit slower, thanks to some extra “padding”. Stacey loves the free mud facials during rainy season, socializing with the ladies and having a good time.
Director
Melissa J. started getting into mountain biking shortly after moving to Vancouver Island. After meeting an awesome group of women through the Dirty Girlz, her weekends consist of finding new trails, features and adventures in the local surrounding areas. She loves a good rock roll and is constantly learning new skills from the strong women in this community.
Director
Mountain biking and membership in the club began in 2023, but it didn’t take long for Erin to realize she had found something special. Time on the trails offers a chance to leave the responsibilities of everyday life in the parking lot and simply reconnect with herself. The physical and mental benefits keep her coming back, but it’s the friendships, the laughter, and the sense of belonging that come from being part of such a welcoming community that make the club truly meaningful.
Director
Ching dabbled in mountain biking every now and then for a few years before finding the Dirty Girlz in 2025. What started as a casual hobby quickly turned into a regular obsession. The community has pushed her skills further than she expected and introduced her to some genuinely great people along the way.
