About
Hi, I'm Kristen! 👋
Â
I've been an athlete and promoter of women's sports my entire life. I grew up primarily as a runner, but in 2014 I married a competitive cyclist and two years later purchased my first bike - a Trek Madone WSD. My husband Tom and I wake up early every year to watch races like the Tour de France.
Â
Growing up a runner, I also watch the Boston Marathon every April. I sip coffee and watch the men AND women race the same course, chasing glory AND equal prize money.
Â
As I got into bike racing, it didn't take long to realize there was no women's Tour de France to watch and support.
Â
But in 2022, wonderful companies like Zwift decided to give the femmes a chance to race! A three year contract was signed and the femmes were told they had these three years to prove they can generate the viewers and financial support to continue the race.
Â
This is year two of that contract. Tom and I are building out this little website as a way to get behind these female athletes and push them forward! We want to get as many people to WATCH THE FEMMES as possible.
Â
For news about the course, the race strategy, and of course the femmes themselves, follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
Â
Thanks and WATCH THE FEMMES!
