An off season newsletter
+ Shirin van Anrooij will miss cx season and Demi Vollering is one with nature
Hello lovely subscribers and welcome to Women’s Cycling Weekly: Your weekly round-up of all things news, content, racing and more from the world of women’s cycling.
It’s quiet out there as we head into the depths of the road off season. But there’s plenty of cyclocross to come as well as track and other news and content to get stuck into while we patiently wait for 2025.
Speaking of the 2025 road season: there’s been sooooo many transfers, and some big ones too, that I’m contemplating doing another one of these — what do you reckon?
Enjoy!
