As part of our work with Beicio Cymru and MB Wales, we’re showcasing stories of people supporting women and girls in Mountain biking!
Events and racing can be an important part of integrating into MTB culture. However, events and races can be exclusionary to women and girls…
Ross Duffield is changing the game for women and girls in mountain biking!
Recognising the unique challenges women face in preparing for races, Ross has worked with the Welsh XC Series to introduce led laps for the race series – giving women and girls a chance to practice on the course without the men.
These led-laps have been a huge hit, with women of all ages gaining skills, confidence, and building a supportive network of riders!
It’s all about making racing more accessible, building confidence, and creating a stronger women’s MTB community!
