THANK YOU FOR 10 AMAZING YEARS!!!
August 10, 2023
To our DSS family,
We knew this day would come eventually, because all good things must come to an end, but we were never really sure when that would be. It is bittersweet as I write to let you know that this will officially be our last and final Dirt Side Sisters season. It has been a heck of a ride, quite literally. Over the past ten years we have organized over 300 events where we have taught over 900 women mountain bike skills!
Bikes are what brings us together, but DSS has never been just about bikes. We are different and we like it that way. To us it’s about breaking down barriers, letting go of the excuses we create in our heads, or society creates for us. It’s about the “You can do it!” attitude, and “We want to show you how, every step of the way!” There’s no “catch” or ulterior motive. We have simply been here to show women that they are strong, they can learn from each other, and together we can do things we never thought possible.
We created community, friendships, and sisterhood. We catch you before you fall, stop you before it’s too late, and nudge you to believe in yourself when doubt sets in. Just as our members learned how to ride better, we learned how to teach better. DSS has become well-known as a high quality system of teaching skills that made men jealous! The gratitude and love I have for every person who has been a part of this journey cannot be expressed in words.
To our entire DFW community, please join us for one last Meet & Greet Member Social at Hop & Sting Brewery on Wednesday, August 23rd before we kick off the last part of our riding season. Clothing will be heavily discounted and a 1 on 1 MTB skills session will be up for grabs for DSS members!
As we finish out this last chapter, I encourage you to join us if you’ve been putting it off. Take the leap and we will teach you to fly!
My sincerest thanks,
Lisa Uranga
Co-Founder
