Wheel Women’s Ride with Specialized Women’s Racing
We cheer for all women; from the World Champion Chantal Blaak, to the new rider on flat pedals and everything in-between. To celebrate our women’s riding community we will be supporting a no-drop ride, which is run by Wheel Women and we would love for you to join us to show your #lovewomenscycling. We will be joined by special guests from the new Specialized Women’s Racing team, who you will share a coffee and maybe even a ride too.
Wheel Women’s mission is to help women build their confidence to be able to ride regularly, no matter your size, shape or age.
