The Bellaship is the women's society of the Fellowship of the Wheel. Our mission is the same as that of the Fellowship - to create and maintain mountain biking opportunities in the Chittenden County region, advocacy and leadership. With that said, the Bellaship offers an additional resource to women riders, both mountain and road cyclists. The primary purpose of the Bellaship is to be a resource to ALL female riders regardless of skill level, personal goals and abilities. We encourage women to ride and enjoy their time on a bike.

The Bellaship

• Coordinates group rides for both mountain bikers and road cyclists


• Offers workshops and clinics throughout the year covering such diverse topics as bike maintenance, goal-setting and skills clinics


• Participates in trail work and special trails projects


• Supports the Fellowship of the Wheel in advocacy work through community participation, governance and leadership


• Acts as a resource for female riders to connect with other like-minded women for riding partners and information


• Supports the Fellowship of the Wheel through the annual membership drive


• Work with local cycling shops for support to women riders, discounts and special services


• Publicize community events relating to cycling such as benefit rides, century rides and races

We encourage all women to support the Fellowship of the Wheel's Annual Membership Drive but there is no fee to become a Bella. Simply sign on to our email list, which is our primary means of communication. Once you are on this list you will receive regular emails about rides and events that the Bellas are involved with or hosting.
