United Energy Around the Bay
Women's Community
Our Women’s Community is here to help encourage, inspire and empower more women and gender diverse people to unlock the many benefits of bike riding in a welcoming and supporting environment.
In the lead up to the event we run a variety of training rides and info sessions to get you ready to roll up to the start line feeling prepared and ready to kick your personal goals. You will even make some new riding friends along the way!
On event day you can ride with the support and encouragement of our Women’s Community ambassadors from St Kilda Cycling Club. They’ll be committed to ride at a steady and comfortable pace throughout the event and will be identified by a women’s community bib on the back of their event jersey.
Is this your first ever bike riding event?
Watch our Women’s Community session to get you started and learn how to prepare for United Energy Around the Bay including what to expect on event day.
There is a Q&A session at the end where you might have some of your questions answered, but please feel free to contact Bicycle Network if you need any more help.
