Throughout July, Cycling UK is delivering
the Women’s Festival of Cycling. The festival is
celebrating female cyclists and is about providing more opportunities for
women to ride. The festival will see a
wide range of female-friendly rides and events delivered across
the country supported by Cycling UK.
We’re asking Member Groups, community
groups and individuals to put on women’s rides throughout July in order to help
as many women as possible enjoy the enormous benefits of cycling. Registering a ride is easy and you do not
have to be a member of Cycling UK, part of a group OR an
existing ride leader to get involved.
100 Women in Cycling
We also want to recognise the
many inspirational women who are already doing so much for women’s cycling
through the100 Women in Cycling campaign. The idea
is to celebrate and say thank you for the contribution that so many women have
made to the cycling world. Whether it is by working hard to make cycling
more open to all, delivering opportunities to ride as part of a Member Group or
achieving results on the campaign front, we want to ensure that achievements are recognised.
We’re also holding an event on Monday 10
July from 5.30pm until 8pm in Birmingham to which all nominated women will be
invited to attend. I will be hosting the event and there will be talks from
Aleysha McGowan and Emily Chappelle.
To nominate someone for our 100 Women in Cycling list, send a short
summary of who they are and why you think they should be included to Julie.Rand@cyclinguk.org
