Our goal is simple: to inspire more women to believe that they are capable of more than they think and to encourage them to embrace new adventures on and off the bike. Through rides, stories, and real-life experiences, we hope to show that COURAGE IS CONTAGIOUS—and that extraordinary journeys begin with a single step.

Trail Angels began with just 6 ladies, who met once a week in 2012 and has grown into South Africa’s largest women-only cycling club, based in Cape Town’s Southern Suburbs.
The club is an energetic group of like-minded women, who love to ride their bikes. We offer rides based on fitness and skill levels – from those who are new to the sport and need a helping hand to get started, to those who need some encouragement and inspiration to ladies who want to compete in events. Everyone finds their group.
