The Colorado Classic is a Professional Cycling Race that has made the BOLD move to become a women's only PRO Cycling Race! I dive deep into the inner workings of cycling and the race itself with event producer, Lucy Diaz.  Colorado is known for innovation and inclusion so this race is a perfect match for the active community. Lucy has made it her mission to help propel these athletes as well as the future generation of cycling. I'm loving that on our last episode we are exploring new terrain (literally!)

In this episode we discuss:

• Hope & vision for the event & women's cycling
• Propelling the athlete through the event
• Empowering women through cycling!
• Exposing your children to different sports
•  The inner workings of the event!
