🩷 Thank you Trail Angels for a special and VERY PINK evening! 🩷

Our 2027 look is officially here !!

We showcased the full range: jerseys, bibs, windbreakers, lava jackets, lifestyle hoodies, trail tees and socks. Watching you try it on, swap sizes and hold jerseys up to each other in the mirror was the best part of the night.

That’s the thing about a club kit. It’s more than fabric and stitches. It’s the thread that ties us together…and seeing the excitement in the room reminded us exactly why a cohesive and beautiful look matters.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us and celebrated 14 years of Trail Angels 🥂🥂 and to our partners for making the evening extra special.

We can’t wait to see you out on the trails in our new colours!
Full range is available online via the link in our bio 🩷

✨ SAVE THE DATE FOR OUR TRAIL ANGELS 2027 KIT LAUNCH ✨

Our 2027 design is new, modern and elegant...and we can’t wait to share it with you for the first time on the 14th October!!

This launch matters to us because the kit is so much more than what we wear. It's how you spot each other on the trails, or in events. It's what turns a group of women into a team on the start line at an event.

For the whole year ahead, this is the look of Trail Angels, and the thing that says you belong here.

Join us for an evening dedicated to the big reveal. See the kit up close for the first time, try it on, and be the first to buy it.

The kit goes on sale for the very first time on the night, before it's available anywhere else.

And because Trail Angels turns 14 this October, we're making it a celebration. We can't think of a better way to mark it than seeing you out on the trails in our new colours 🩷

The sun's coming up earlier so pre-work gravel rides are on the calendar! 🌄🌄

Every Wednesday morning we'll be hosting a meet-up gravel ride - a free weekly tempo ride every Wednesday morning, starting from Bootlegger in Tokai 🩷🩷

Details:

👉 Pace: steady-state session on tar/gravel (expect roughly around 22-25kms/hr)
👉 Route: shared weekly as a GPX file on the weekly club event.

It isn't a coached ride. There's no sweep, no ride leader waiting at the top. This is a friendly drop ride - meaning we ride together, but we ride at consistent pace - so that we can all be behind our desks on time ;)

👉 Every Wednesday
👉 6:00am - 08:00am
👉 Starting from Bootlegger, Tokai

Please RSVP on the our strava event - Hope to see you there!

Thinking about mountain biking but not sure you're ready?

The good news is...you don't have to be 🙌🙌

The nervousness you're feeling - about holding others up, about not being fit enough, about not knowing where to start - is exactly where most of our members started too.

We have dedicated rides for that, tailored groups that go a bit slower, stop often to break down foundational techniques and coaches who know what it feels like to be the nervous one.
..and of course a post-ride coffee stop to connect with your group 😉

You don't have to be fearless to join Trail Angels...you just have to have a willingness to start.

The first step is filling in our Rider Questionnaire - it takes 2mins and we use it to make sure we put you in the right group from day one.

Meet our coaches!! 🩷

Behind every ride, every skill unlocked and every woman who surprises herself on the trails - there’s our team.

Swipe to get to know the faces of the Trail Angels Team.

Meet Nikki Haywood - Founder & Head Coach 🩷

The woman who started Trail Angels with six friends and a single weekly ride in 2012.

She started the Trail Angels club because she believed women needed a safe, judgment-free space to try cycling and 13 years later, the mission hasn’t changed.

Meet Coach Viv 🩷

Viv is a physiotherapist, former Pilates studio owner, and self-confessed fan of riding through rocks.

She picked up mountain biking in 2014, joined Trail Angels, and has been coaching ever since.

Her BICP certification combines with 30 years of movement knowledge to create something a little different...

Sessions where a little bit of fear...starts to feel like fun 😉😉

Meet Coach Lena 🩷

Just 8 years ago, Lena started out nervous on a bike and quiet in the group and so if you’re nervous on a bike, she gets it more than most.

“I am passionate about empowering girls and women to be brave and overcome their fears. I now love technical riding and have competed in several XCO races and completed a few multi-stage races, including Dr. Evil, W**es2Whales, Tankwa Trek, Gravel Burn and Cape Epic.”

She coaches with a lot of heart, zero judgment and a very good understanding of what it actually takes to go from scared to confident on the trails.

Meet Coach Ciske 🩷

Ciske is a Biokineticist who found mountain biking a few years ago and never looked back. Joining Trail Angels 3 years ago and continuing on to rider her first W**es2Whales in 2025...she’s the kind of coach who makes you feel like you can do the thing you were convinced you couldn’t.

“I’m passionate about helping women grow in confidence on the bike and love creating a supportive and encouraging environment on the trails.“

Patient, ever-positive, encouraging and always in your corner.

Meet Coach Barbs 🩷

She’s been a personal trainer for 30 years, discovered mountain biking in 2018, and has been making up for lost time ever since !!

Cape Epic, 2x W**es2Whales, 3x Attakwas, Sani2C, and counting
