Pro tip: always look where you're going and don't stare at your front tire!

Motorcycling is a lot like life - if you're looking down, you're going down.

Look up, and aim for the sky🎉💃

Jurga: Gaerne or Sidi?
Egle: yes

The riding, the company, and the mountains are key for a ridiculously fun moto adventure, especially if it's in Transylvania, and especially if we're hoping to hang with Dracula - but the stays matter, too, because once we're back from a day of hard riding, chasing vampires, and laughing our butts off, we'll probably want somewhere cozy to relax and sleep. Correctamundo?

That's why we've got this amazing place for our Transylvania off-road training tour in April: it's rustic, it's got all kinds of wonderful things like fireplaces, there's a dead bear on the wall, and the fridges, we're told, are going to be well-stocked with after-ride beers and palinka (what's palinka, you say? Join the tour and find out!). It doesn't get any more authentic:

Transylvania, enduro heaven. Here's what it's like to spend 3 days riding and training enduro in the mountains and forests with Enduro Escape Tours.

Seriously though, what's all this about?

Essentially, we're like fairy godmothers of adventure, but with waterproof socks and an ungodly amount of oil changes under our belts. We can find Yamaha XT660's in Spain and send you off on an Andalucian adventure, aid and abet if you're thinking of crossing Mongolia on crappy Chinese motorcycles, help you enjoy Colombia off-road or pick the best motorcycle rental company in Ecuador; additionally, Jurga can teach you kitesurfing or take you on a motorboat trip (that's right, she's a licensed ship captain!), whereas Egle can help you figure out roadbook, your first rally race, or the best way to make roadside coffee (French press. Obvs).

We know that there's no adventure that fits all, so we have a whole bag of tricks up our sleeves. We're always on the move in search for the next destination, the next silly bike expedition, the next dirt bike boot camp location, or the next disused motocross track that can, with a little bit of imagination, be transformed into a conference space slash women's dirtbike meet slash post-ride beer tasting spot.

As an overly optimistic and suspiciously homeless bunch of two-wheeled misfits that love off-road riding, traveling, and getting into all kinds of trouble, we want to help you experience The Adventure. Not just a weekend ride or a motorcycle tour, but rather, THAT one extraordinary moto quest you'll be telling your grandkids about, that one collection of AHA and Oh Crap moments where you feel so alive, so present, so in the moment, and so truly YOU.

Sound good? Engines on, friends.

Jurga, the co-founder of Green Elephant, sometimes just takes off on her Little Honda to see what's new in the world - or in this case, Sahara:

Why do we do what we do?👩‍🎤

Because we know that women want to ride off-road. We know that women love motorcycling, and that they can ride dirt like nobody's business. We know that women want the freedom, the adventure, and the adrenaline just as much as dudes do (if not more. Just sayin').

But we also know that sometimes, us gals need a little boost, a bit of confidence building, and a lot of support; that we do better when surrounded by like-minded souls; that logs, rear wheel skids, and hill climbs are a lot less intimidating when done together 💃

So that's where the Green Elephant comes in. We ride together, train together, and party together once the dirt bikes are parked. We travel in packs, explore the world on two wheels, and become stronger, faster, and more confident - together💜

Come join the sisterhood and the two-wheeled shenanigans! 🤩

What happens during a women's off-road training event for beginners?

👊 We connect
👊 We get to try a whole bunch of different off-road bikes
👊 We slow-race
👊We laugh our butts off
👊 We cover the theory, the basics, and the handling
👊 We learn to stand up on the pegs, balance, feel the bike's weight and movement, get over small obstacles, use the brakes, and ride on different surfaces
👊 Most importantly, we get rid of fear and boost confidence💃🙋‍♀️🤩

Ready for the next step?

What happens when a bunch of women gathers to ride dirt bikes together? Magic, that's what🤩

We don't do women's motorcycle tours and off-road training events become we think women need special treatment. We do them because every once in a while, us gals just need our own space to ride, connect, and laugh our butts off🥳💃👩‍🎤

Everyone needs a little boost sometimes... Which is why we promise we'll probably get you in trouble, but we'll get you out of it, too!
