She posted a video of herself clearing a rock garden that had been beating her for weeks. It wasn't perfect — she stalled once, her line was wide on the exit — but she cleaned it, and she was proud.

Within an hour, a stranger in the comments was explaining what she did wrong. Two more offered unsolicited advice about her bike setup. One sent a DM. She deleted the post before dinner.

She's been riding for two years. She's intermediate — genuinely skilled, better than some of the guys in her riding group on technical terrain. She loves this sport. She'd ride every weekend if she could. But every time she engages with the broader online community, the experience costs more energy than it gives back.

She's not alone. She's one of tens of thousands of women who ride off-road and have quietly opted out of the online community that should exist for them.

She doesn't need another Facebook group with a "be respectful" rule that nobody enforces. She needs a community that was built from the ground up for women who ride.

Sound Familiar?

The Community That Should Exist Doesn't

Every time someone builds a space for women riders, it fills instantly — because the demand is massive and the year-round supply is almost nonexistent.

The External Problem

No year-round, structured community for women who ride off-road with actual infrastructure. In-person events happen once or twice a year and sell out immediately. Online spaces fail women riders in practice — moderation is inconsistent and unwanted attention is persistent. She doesn't know if there are other women riding within 100 miles.

The Internal Struggle

She's tired of filtering every online interaction through "is this person being helpful or is this something else." She wants to post a video and get feedback on her technique, not her appearance. The emotional cost of participating in the community has exceeded the value — so she stopped participating.

What Women Riders Deserve

Women who ride deserve a community built by women who ride, for women who ride. Not a protected corner of someone else's space. Not a Facebook group where the rules exist but the enforcement doesn't. A real community — year-round, verified, and built around riding.

Why Megs Built This

She Knows What It Costs

Empathy

Megs is a woman who rides at the highest level and has navigated every version of this experience. She built Braap Sisters because she knows what it costs to love this sport and feel unwelcome in its community.

The Friday women's clinics on her national tour sell out first — every time. The demand isn't a question. The year-round infrastructure to support it has been the missing piece.

Authority

  • ISDE veteran and experienced enduro racer
  • 240,000+ Instagram followers
  • National clinic tour across the USA & Canada
  • Friday women's clinic sells out first at every stop
  • Built a platform with the infrastructure to make this real

How It Works

Three Steps to Your Riding Community

01

Verify

Submit a government-issued ID through Stripe Identity. Real people, real accountability. Takes two minutes. The $9 one-time fee covers verification — or use a scholarship if you need one.

02

Connect

Set your radius — 50, 100, or 200 miles. The system notifies women who ride near you. They're already there. You just couldn't find them until now.

03

Ride

Community feed, rider matching, monthly live sessions with Megs, gear guides, and event calendars. Year-round. Not 50 weeks of silence between events.

What You Get

Built for Women Who Ride

Not a side project. Not a protected corner. Real infrastructure for a real community.

Community Feed

All lanes, all tiers. Singletrack Junkie riders and Splatter Club riders both find their people.

Radius-Based Matching

Find women who ride near you. Get notified when new riders join within your radius.

Just Wanna Wheelie Thread

Because wheelies are universal. A dedicated space where everyone belongs.

Monthly Live Sessions

Q&A with Megs, technique sessions, and occasional guest women racers.

Gear Guide for Women

Curated by Megs and community members. What actually fits and works — from women who've tried it.

Race & Event Calendar

Women's classes and women-welcoming events aggregated monthly. Priority access to camps and cohort programs.

The Scholarship Model

Cost Should Never Be the Barrier

Any member can sponsor a verification fee for another rider. No application, no justification, no questions asked. Every scholarship is $9. The math is transparent.

What's at Stake

What Happens If Nothing Changes

She keeps shrinking her riding circle. Stops posting. Stops engaging. The emotional cost of participating in the sport's online community continues to exceed the value.

She still rides — but in a smaller and smaller world, with fewer connections, and with the persistent low-grade frustration of knowing this sport should feel more like hers than it does.

She doesn't know that four women ride within 80 miles of her. They don't know about each other either. The riding relationships that could change this sport for all of them never form.

The community that should exist for her never materializes. She quietly opts out of looking for it.

You don't have to keep riding in a smaller and smaller circle.

The Transformation

This Is What Changes

She opens Braap Sisters and sees four women who ride within 80 miles of her.

She messages one. They ride together that weekend.

She posts a video and gets feedback on her technique, not her appearance.

She asks about boots that fit her calves and gets six recommendations from women who've tried them.

Six months later, she attends a women's confidence camp with three riders she met through the community.

She belongs to something that was built for her.

She doesn't have to explain why it exists.

The Market

The Demand Is Real

~1 in 5

motorcycle owners are women — nearly double from 15 years ago

~1 in 4

Millennial riders are women — the fastest-growing segment

More Likely

to invest in safety training and coaching than male counterparts

The demand is real, it's growing fast, and the year-round infrastructure doesn't exist yet. Braap Sisters fills that gap.
