We have several of gender diverse and trans junior riders who looked up to KFC. This is disappointing but ultimately unsurprising. We are glad that in 2023, they have good role models in the sport to look up to.

@amrook Bio male & female are different, it’s science. Males have more lean muscle mass, higher lung capacity, stronger bones, more blood volume, and naturally higher VO2. That’s not taking into account hormones that also give them an advantage from puberty on.

We got our first complaint today saying USA Cycling over-represents female cyclists across our social media channels but we’re just going to take that as a compliment. We have women and girls crushing it at all levels in our community and we won’t apologize for celebrating them.

[USA Cycling @usacycling]

Happy National Girls & Women In Sports Day! Today we celebrate all the females in sport, but every day we will strive to grow our community and the opportunities for women in cycling. So take today to grab your friends and get on your bike!#MoreGirlsOnBikes #NGWSD #LeadHerForward

When Ellie first approached us about being part of NWCX Project, her mom, @joann.mitchellak, emailed us and asked “is Alaska considered the Northwest?” We had to concede that Alaska was arguably much more Northwest than Seattle. After that conversation a… https://t.co/pRxSOZsSGY

At just 11-years-old, Kassidy is a born leader. She regularly invites her teammates over to her home for mountain bike sleepover parties, or up to Stevens Pass for ski weekends. Kassidy is a big part of the glue that holds the team together, effortlessly… https://t.co/Cec0XML8Rl

2019 was Callah’s first year on the team but you’d never know it by the way she immediately took on a mentoring role with her younger teammates. She started with us in May, leading a team at the Spokane 24 hour MTB race, and capped her season with a stro… https://t.co/QEDuyveOQg

Kelly started her season at the @usacycling #talentID camp with @tobylynnswanson and @jess_rides. At that camp and throughout the season, she’s continued to push herself technically and learned to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. A national leve… https://t.co/PSOD0XugyN

If our team was a living being, Elsa would be the heart. She can be found at almost every race offering a hand to her teammates or caring for @millie_wheelie. Elsa raced her first nationals this year and undiscouraged by being the second to last call-up,… https://t.co/n8urG8oWev

Camdyn jumped into her first nationals with both feet last Saturday in the 15-16 girls race. Undeterred by the sloppy conditions and technical track, she pedaled her way through the ruts and mud to have a strong lead lap finish. Congrats to Camdyn on a s… https://t.co/qsYIKYUK42

Hayden has been with us since day one and is such an incredible asset to the team and our younger riders. Week after week, she shares her time and knowledge with her teammates. Her maturity, leadership, and stoicism is an invaluable asset and one of the … https://t.co/X2a3w9apKa

If we were handing out awards, Emelia would win the prize for bravery. With the help of her teammates and family and through her own tenacity, she has consistently overcome her fears, improved her skills, and continued to race week after week. Emelia fac… https://t.co/W0m39rpue4

We had 11 riders age 8 to 21 race at @usacycling #cxnats2019 in Lakewood, WA. For many of them, this was their first nationals, but certainly not their last. For the next 11 days, we will honor each of these riders. .

It’s not just that @smallory4 got her first elite @mfgcross (wire to wire) win today, it’s that she spent the whole race being focused, having fun, making good choices. We couldn’t be more proud and excited see what she does in the coming weeks in Canada… https://t.co/SLC66fqq8O

We are so excited and privileged to have Callah riding with us this year!

It's a big year for Washington's Callah Robinson with Cyclocross Nats headed to her home state. We got to know her better at the Women's @montanacxcamp.

Cross season may be months away but our riders are enjoying beautiful spring days and honing their skills. 11-year-old Kassidy raced up an age group last weekend on her home trails, finishing a strong second place in the girls 12-14 race! Kass will be ca… https://t.co/an9eSXHEDb
