About
Our mission is to elevate Category 3 women road cyclists through the development of a tightly-knit composite team that acts as champions of inclusivity, advocacy, and mentorship. Our purpose is to grow and inspire women to race at a higher level, push industry standards, and ultimately feed the elite-level women’s pipeline.
Supporting the middle
While support exists at the top and entry-levels of women’s criterium racing, the data shows we’re struggling to keep riders engaged at the mid-level. This results in a steep drop off of Category 3 women racers and ultimately slows the development of our sport. Without a path forward or the tools, teams, or support needed to race at an elevated level, riders often leave the sport.
We’re on a mission to change that. By providing meaningful sponsorships, mentors, guidance, and an elevated team racing experience (before, during, and after), we’re hoping to bridge the gap between categories, inspire others to dream big, and be a welcomed, positive, and sustainable space for riders to grow and thrive.
Sport
Is A Human Right.
By women for everyone.
STKD recognizes that our community is strongest with a variety of voices. We believe that people are the gender they say they are and that trans women belong in women’s sport. STKD is focused on creating change within the cycling industry by mentoring riders from a variety of backgrounds and providing support to get people to the next level by investing in rider development early and often.
