I'm in Belgium 🇧🇪
Cross is HERE
Hello lovely subscribers and welcome to Women’s Cycling Weekly! 🚴♀️
I’m currently in the Belgian town of Kortrijk with WCW OG, Tilda, and TDFF podcast stalwart, Rachel. We’re here to watch the X2O cyclocross race that’s happening tomorrow and fulfil our dreams of eating frites, drinking beers, and shouting at people in a muddy field. Ofc we will also bring some hashtag content whether Tilda and Rachel like it or not.
+ Paid subscribers: stay tuned for a newsletter this Sunday!
Until then, enjoy this newsletter!
