As part of SGC's mission, Sturdy Girl Cycling created a racing team to foster the development of competitive women cyclists. The SGC racing team believes in the joy of cycling, the excitement of competition, and that, above all, racing should be fun. We provide a safe, friendly, and well-structured environment for women to achieve team goals as well as individual goals.

Our race program offers encouragement, coaching, training rides, structured interval sessions, and an appreciation for the challenge and fun of racing together as a team.

Keep up with the race team: results and race reports on our new Sturdy Girl BLOG!

The recruitment process for 2008 is now closed. If you missed this round, recruitment will re-open in the fall of 2008 for the 2009 race season.

If you have an interest in racing, please contact us (the earlier the better) even if you are "just thinking" about it. We can work with you to help get you ready. We seek women cyclists who are enthusiastic, supportive, willing to work hard, and want to have a fabulously good time.

If you are wondering how to assess if you are ready to race, take Sturdy Girl Cycling's race-readiness assessment as part of the self-evaluation process.
