The inaugural women's race round table took place on the 29th May. Hosted by Dulwich Paragon and sponsored by Rapha, the event brought together clubs and teams who actively share an interest in women's road racing in London and the South East.
The aim of the round table was to share best practice and see how best to drive forward the opportunities for women in racing in our region- whether that be training, support or racing, and how this will look in 2016 and beyond.
The round table agreed that there were a good amount of opportunities available for women in the region, but that communication was lacking not just between riders but also event organisers. Greater networking and building a sense of community within the region is needed, at all levels, but particularly amongst those just starting out in racing. Some clubs around the table including Dulwich were able to share experiences about how this has worked for them in practice.
It was fantastic to see such lively discussion, and also a willingness to now drive these actions forward. The round table will be renamed the London Women's Racing Forum and further details about the plans will be released shortly, along with social media links.
Summary minutes of the round table will be available. Please contact beth@dulwichparagon.com to receive a copy or to register your interest about the LWRF.
Please contact Beth Hodge, Libby Gordon or Heather Rankin for more info.
