Babes Ride Out Scheduled to Return to Borrego Springs in April


Babes Ride Out, a women-focused motorcycle event, is scheduled to take place in Borrego Springs from April 24 to April 26. The event will be hosted at the Palm Canyon Hotel and RV Resort, which has been fully reserved for attendees during that time.


Babes Ride Out began in Borrego Springs in 2013 and has since expanded to additional locations nationally and internationally. Borrego Springs continues to host one of the organization’s annual gatherings.


Babes Ride Out and Its History in Borrego Springs



Babes Ride Out began in Borrego Springs in 2013 when founders Ashmore Ellis and Anya Violet invited a small group of women riders to camp and ride together in the desert. What started as a gathering of about 75 participants quickly grew, with Borrego Springs becoming closely associated with the event’s early identity. Over the years, Babes Ride Out expanded to additional locations across the United States and internationally, but Borrego Springs has remained one of its original and recurring host communities.

Event Overview for Residents and Visitors


During the event weekend, Borrego Springs typically experiences an increase in visitor activity. Attendees often stay locally and spend time dining at restaurants, shopping, visiting art installations, hiking nearby trails, and traveling throughout town.


Most organized event activities are centered at the Palm Canyon Hotel and RV Resort, which helps keep the majority of activity contained to one location while still supporting surrounding businesses.
