Purpose

We are building.....

 

  • A better future for Women's Cycling by empowering and inspiring the next generation of young American women through holistic and comprehensive education and development
  • Culture with progressive, competitive and engaged structure to incentivize participation and sustainability 
  • Success through sustained programming that offers our nation's top athletes consistent opportunities to compete against the world's fastest riders
  • Leaders in cycling, leaders in community and leaders for healthy lifestyles  

 

 

 

 

Pathway

Junior & U23 Women's Road Development Path

 

Women's support begins at the local and regional level where opportunities are provided through training, racing and education.  Riders are invited to travel to regional development camps and to attend regional and national competitions. Riders may then earn the opportunity to join the National Team to compete in European events and World Cups.  Olympic Medalist and World Champion Mari Holden leads the Women's effort for USA Cycling.

  • 2nd over-all in the Junior Women Nations Cup final standings, Megan Jastrab wins the World Championship road race
  • Total of 288 individual rider training/Racing program days in 2019

 

Building Champions

  • Juniors typically race more than one cycling discipline during their formative development years
  • Track, Mountain Bike and Cyclocross are all viable "cross-training" events for a road cyclist
  • The number of medals won by road cyclists in other disciplines continues to grow.  The endurance training and depth of road athletes creates great opportunities in these additional disciplines
  • USA Cycling will continue to offer the well-trained road cyclist multiple opportunities on the World and Olympic stage
