Give Your Support

For the 2021 Ladies Offroad Network Giveback project we will be assisting 4 Daughter/Mom Teams Build Bikes to learn Mechanics and have the opportunity to go Outside in the Dirt!  The ladies attending the Convention will be separated into 4 groups and will help each Daughter and Mom put the bike together. By the time the team is finished Daughter and Mom will have knowledge on how the bike works, how to fix it if something might happen and have the ability to go outside and RIDE! 

"I have been wanting to put a program together for a long time that included kids and bikes. The concept came to me and I am very excited to watch this program work and grow wings!" ~ Charlene

We need your support!!  To purchase the bikes, helmets and a few cool accessories that are must haves, we do need a budget. This is where we are asking for you to take part in this ~ far and near. The goal for this weekends Convention Giveback is $1000. YES WE CAN! 

What is the Ladies Offroad Convention?

The Ladies Offroad Convention is an action-packed, interactive 4-day weekend educating, motivating, and guiding all offroad ladies. Our 5th Annual 2021 Convention will be held in Phoenix, Arizona   August 5-8, 2021.  Ladies will have many hands-on opportunities to gain all types of offroading skills, learn and engage with other offroad ladies as they share their stories, and most importantly laugh the whole way!

2020 offered a series of challenges to overcome. Our 2021 plans have revolved around being in Arizona, Charlene's home base. With majority of our Convention being inside, we are doing everything to make sure that HEAT is not a challenge for our guests. "Yes, I realize it is H-O-T here...but it will not be something that we will be exposed to. I don't want to be out there sweating either! I will have a GREAT lineup of learning activities that we can do inside, and outside in early mornings. We Got This!" ~ Charlene

"As I have traveled across the country I am lucky to meet so many amazing offroad ladies, that all tend to say the same thing:  'I wish we had a safe place to learn' or, 'I don't know any other offroad girls like myself.'  Well, Ladies Offroad Network is answering both of those requests daily! The Convention is the "Grand'mama" of our events throughout the year. The reunion, the celebration, the big dog event that is hosted at a hotel in a fun and exciting style that I love to surprise you with!  I am excited to provide a platform for Ladies (YOU!) to shine! Yes You Can!"  ~ Charlene

2020 NonLonCon was a RAD camping trip hosted in the Arizona mountains when we had to cancel the official hotel experience due to pandemic restrictions.

Stations

Thursday we will start the activities as soon as you arrive and check-in with our welcoming staff at 10am.  There will be stations set up around the conference room where you can learn something new or test your skills.  Simple, fun but may also be challenging.  Of course we will add a little competitive spirit to the afternoon, so don't plan on coming in at the last minute.

Some examples of a station would be "How to put together a Pull-Pal", "How Lockers are Engaged, the Mechanics", "How to build a First Aid Kit", "How to Tie Knots".  Each station is built to be a casual 15-20 minute stop.  

These unique stations will be ideas of, and hosted by, our 2016 Ladies Co-Driver Challenge Top 10, the 2017, 2018, 2019 Ladies Offroad Challenge Top 10, and our Brand Ambassadors.  You will get to meet with them and other guests that we will welcome in for the day.
