Unbound XL Ladies+ Crew

A Free Training + Mentorship Community for Women and Non-Binary Riders Taking on Unbound XL

350 miles is a big ask. You don’t have to do it alone.

The Rambleur Unbound XL Ladies+ Crew is a free training, mentorship, and community program for women and non-binary riders who are curious about racing Unbound XL.

Whether you’re already committed to the start line, still deciding if XL is for you, or simply wondering what it would take to ride 350 miles across the Flint Hills, this crew is designed to help make the challenge feel more possible.

Over the course of the season, we’ll bring together experienced racers, coaches, mentors, mechanics, and fellow XL-curious riders to share knowledge, answer questions, build confidence, and prepare for everything that comes with one very long day — and night — on the bike.

You don’t need to arrive as an ultra expert. Curiosity is enough.

What Does It Cost?

The Rambleur Unbound XL Ladies+ Crew is free to join.

These are the requirements:

Be cool. Be kind. Be supportive.

We want this to be a crew where people feel comfortable asking questions, sharing what they know, admitting when they don’t know something, and helping the rider next to them get a little closer to their own goal.

That’s it.
