ROLLCALL RETREAT FOR WOMEN+

Rollcall is a 3-day mountain biking retreat based in the archipelago of Stockholm, Sweden focused on guided rides, skills sessions, amazing food and real connections. You are welcome to join us if you identify as WTFNB (woman, trans, femme, non-binary). The retreat will be held in English.

Why Rollcall?
It’s more than just a name. When someone askes your name out loud and you answer, “present” that’s a rollcall. Here we ride with presence and intention. It’s about showing up for yourself, for your crew, and for the ride. This is your call to roll, whether you’ve been riding for years or just finding your flow.

Mountainbikeskolan & Kafé Källtorp are just 15 minutes outside of central Stockholm, Sweden. With over 400 MTB trails right in our backyard, this area offers the absolute best of Scandinavian nature: a patchwork of ancient pine and birch forests, beautiful freshwater lakes, roots and rock gardens. All rides will begin from Mountainbikeskolan and lunch, dinner and “Swedish fika” are made from scratch, with local and organic ingredients, at the adjoining Kafé Källtorp. We will bunk up at the historic STF cabins, just a 5 minute ride from our basecamp.

The riding in this area is technical. Rollcall is ideal for frequent riders or newer riders who comfortably handle beginner trails. We will break up in skills-based groups so you can choose to be challenged or take it easy. In addition to technical riding, we are also planning the Last Light Night Ride, a traditional Swedish dinner with music and dancing and a silent ride. Come for the nature, the nourishment and the community of women who love riding as much as you.

If you’re joining from abroad, you get the added perk of being able to explore the capital of Scandinavia, and at the time of year when Stockholm truly shines!

The terrain here is technical, so Rollcall is best for riders who regularly ride or newer riders comfortable on beginner trails. At a minimum, you should be familiar with: shifting, brake technique, use of the dropper post, small front wheel lift, and simple cornering. You should be able to ride both uphill and downhill. You should have the fitness to support 3 days of mountain biking.

Before the retreat, everyone completes a rider survey so we can form skill-based groups. A coach from Mountainbikeskolan will lead each group through the beautiful “Hellas” area, with stops to practice skills and techniques on real trails.

Groups will cover beginner, intermediate and advanced trails. There is no upper limit for skills to attend Rollcall – double black diamond babes welcome! Groups will remain flexible throughout the weekend so you can choose the riding experience you want.

You will need a modern mountain bike in good working order.

  • It’s always nice to ride your bike. If you bring your own, our on-site mechanics can help you set it up and make sure it’s safe (included in your admission). We can also perform service, change brake pads, upgrade pedals etc. (Standard service fees apply, parts available for purchase at 10% discount). Store your bike overnight with us all weekend (indoors for 250 SEK). At the end of the weekend, we are happy to help you re-pack your bike.
  • We have a fleet of Trek mountain bikes in a range of sizes if you prefer to rent. Check out our bike rentals page for available makes, models and sizes. Bring your own pedals or choose from our SPDs or flats. Helmets are always included.

    Book your rental from this page to get 10% off on Saturday and Sunday, and we will throw in Friday rental for free! We offer a bike insurance package, in case of damage to the rental.
