Ellen Noble is Back—and Still Bunny-Hopping the Patriarchy (On Her Own Terms)
Welcome to Strong Girl Talk, where we dive into the latest in sports science, performance, and well-being—all with a focus on women and girls in sport. Each episode, we take a deep dive into the research, the challenges, and the opportunities that impact female athletes. This week we sat down to chat with Ellen Noble.
Who is Ellen Noble? Ellen is world cyclocross silver medalist, a two-time U23 National Champion, and now known an un-retired professional cyclist living in the Western Massachusetts. In 2018 Ellen was riding the high of a successful cyclocross and mountain bike athlete, but then out of nowhere it was like she could not train anymore. Eventually diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder, Ellen is finding joy on her bike again and looking to make a comeback.
Ellen is also known for being vocal at cyclocross races challenging traditional sport stereotypes. Known for “bunny hopping the patriarchy”—a fight for equality in cycling, Ellen’s quest for equity in cycling took on a life of its own. In this episode you’ll hear us chat with Ellen the importance of social movements, alongside the boardroom decisions.
The UCI, The Union Cycliste Internationale is international federation, the world governing body of cycling. The UCI believes that “Cycling is an open and accessible sport that is committed to the values of gender equity, diversity and inclusion,” as you can read at their website on diversity and inclusion. The UCI completed the EDGE (Economic Dividends for Gender Equality) Certification, a course dedicated to creating and leading standard for workplace equity and inclusion with a gender equity focus and intersectional approach. This helped the UCI, create Gender Equality Charter.
Sasha and Molly have a great time chatting with Ellen. And you definitely hear Sasha fan girl over Ellen, while Ellen and Molly caught up like the old friends that they are. Ellen drops an idea for a fun sideshow to Strong Girl Talk, Fan Girl Fridays. Let us know what you think of this idea… and who you would feature next!
