✨ Be sure to sign up by registering below, so that we know to keep you updated and can send you the the necessary forms that need your signature to participate.
Volunteering is a great opportunity to learn more about the areas we recreate in, about the work that goes into maintaining the trail systems we use, and to not only give back to the community but to become a part of the community and feel belonging.
Through my own experiences helping to rebuild and maintain trail with MOCA / MORC and CLMTB on mountain bike trails and with the SHTA on the Superior Hiking Trail, these learning experiences have given me a better understanding of why the trail is built the way it is (example : why the rock is situated a certain way, or how the terrain leads to a specific feature) which in turn has led me to trust the trail and experience more joy while riding.
If you’ve ever wanted to get connected and give back, this is a great opportunity!

I (Monica) always wanted to learn how to build and maintain single track mountain biking building, it’s something I find interesting and also intimidating to get into and I know I’m not the only one who feels this way, so I want to help create a bridge to this experience and education for myself and others.
I feel one of the best ways to give back is to learn the amount of work that goes into building and how to maintain these trail systems - - the more we know about an outdoor space the more likely we are to speak up for it and protect it too.
I also think that by learning how the trails are built, it might further my understanding of the trail itself and improve my mountain biking skills by making it less intimidating by having more depth of understanding of the trail itself.

\nIn 2024 and 2025, Unruly Women was a race ambassador and a supported organization by the Hungry Bear 100. Although we’re not local to Hayward, Wisconsin, our missions align and we came together to help raise funds, and create an inclusive and accessible community! Everyone in our group had such a great time, that I’ve decided Unruly Women will be at Hungry Bear 2026!
ABOUT :
“The Hungry Bear was born in the days when gravel races were unsupported DIY events where you were lucky to get a paper cue sheet and find a tavern at the end. We are trying to hold onto that BYOB adventure vibe that comes with a little bit of trepidation.
Profits from this event will be divided among community-based organizations like the Cable Volunteer Fire Department, The Steve Tilford Foundation, Regional Hospice, LCO Schools Scholarship, and other local non-profits and worthy causes.” Read more by clicking the button below to head over to the official Hungry Bear website.
COST: All proceeds go to the local community and other local non-profits and worthy causes! So, you can feel good about the fee :)
$40 (timed) use the code UNRULY5 for 5$ off to bring your cost to $35!
DISTANCE: choose from either the 28, 60 or 100 mile distances
I (Monica) plan to ride the 100 in 2026!
*2025 and 2026 will be all timed races, but please don’t let that keep you from signing up, it’s more about being able to keep tabs on who is still out on the course and who has crossed the finish line so that no-one gets left behind.*
Keep an eye out for updates / dates / times for virtual Zwift team rides over the winter
email me with virtual group ride or race questions : monica@unrulywomen.org
sign up for the newsletter to stay most up to date
you’ll need a subscription to Zwift and a bike trainer of some kind (TacX, Zwift Hub, Kickr Smart, Wahoo, etc) to connect your bike to use and to virtually join the ride over the winter, if you wait, I’ll send out a discount code once I’m signed up again. I don’t have a year round subscription.
