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.
From Cape Town to Switzerland: The Gravel Burn Story 🚴♀️🇿🇦🇨🇭

Join us for an inspiring evening of cycling, storytelling, and community.
We’ll kick things off with a relaxed social gravel ride before sitting down to hear the stories of the Cape Town women who took on and completed Gravel Burn in South Africa. Discover what motivated them to say yes to the challenge, the obstacles they faced along the way, and the lessons they brought home from one of the world’s most unique gravel cycling adventures.

We’re excited to launch Trail Angels Go Gravel this May.
We will offer three weekly gravel rides designed for both complete beginners and women with Gravel Burn aspirations who want to build confidence, skills, and community on the bike..
Whether you’re just starting out or working towards your next big adventure, this is your space to ride, learn, and connect. For more information, please contact Nikki.










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.
