The Litas Columbus
Global Womxn’s Riding Collective
The Litas is a global community with a focus on the local community. Bringing together womxn of all ages, all riding levels, on all types of motorcycles. Globally founded in 2015 and Locally founded in 2021.
The Litas is open to womxn, over 18, who desire to ride motorcycles.
No. The Litas is not a club. We’re an open, inclusive community of riders who share a love of motorcycles and good time. We specifically don’t allow riders who wear large patches because we’re not a club.
The Litas Columbus have the following standing meet ups:
Kickstands & Coffee 9a-12noon at Throttle Company
Throttle Bike Night (2nd/Fri/Mo) 6-9pm
Euro Bike Night (2nd/4th Tuesday/Mo) at Euro Bike Night 6p-9p. (Check Discord)
What’s with the Collective App?
The Collective App is required to ride with the Litas Columbus. The Collective App connects you with the Columbus Collective and Collectives around the world! More importantly, that’s where you sign the required waiver. It’s not optional.
WHAT AM I PAYING FOR?
1 tent spot per night purchased per person in a communal campground setting.
You also get a light communal dinner & campfire experience/s’mores each night. Part of your ticket contributes to the firewood, dinner supplies and s’mores.
Campground includes:
Electric sites
Heated showers/flush toilets (adjacent)
Drinking water pump (less than 50 yards)
Campstore
We pool the resources/money for the light dinner supplies such as hotdogs or foil packet dinners and the starter piles of campfire wood for a group cooking and campfire s’mores situation for each night. Part of your ticket contributes to the firewood, dinner supplies and s’mores.
Campers often bring their own campfire cooking experience and ingredients to contribute, though not required.
Additional campfire wood is purchased on a volunteer communal basis, as well.
LIGHT dinner means hotdogs/chips, foil packet meal, kebabs etc. Part of your ticket contributes to the firewood, dinner supplies and s’mores. We typically grocery shop locally as a group upon arrival and as needed.
*In the nature of communal dinners and based off of the last few campouts, Litas typically provide snacks or a side dish or whatever.
-Any camping equipment (bring everything you need for your camp spot)
-Alcohol (though BYOB allowed AT your campsite)
-Breakfast or Lunch on any day
-Caffeine
-Cabins (if you choose to rent one or stay nearby)
*Mackenzie has a cabin for Fri/Sat/Sun nights and has room to share. Contact her directly to secure a spot in her cabin. Costs related to the campfire wood, food, etc will still apply but will be arranged after speaking with her.
-Entry costs to anything other than the campground itself
-Hammocks ARE allowed, but there are limited suitable trees at this group site. First Come, First Served! These spots are not guaranteed to have hammock suitable trees.
-If you need an RV or toy hauler spot, or want to rent a cabin you will need to rent your own spot at Dillion State Park (or another local campground). This cost is in ADDITION to the The Dry-Run Campout Fee and your location in relation to the group camp location is not guaranteed. If you end up getting your own spot, let me know and I’ll send you the amount needed to cover the dinner, campfire, etc.
Mackenzie has a cabin for Fri/Sat/Sun nights and has room to share. You can indicate your interest in the RSVP link under “Get Tickets.” Costs related to the campfire wood, food, etc will still apply but will be arranged after speaking with her.
We can accomodate 1-2 “truck tent” situations. Ask if you have questions on that.
