Please check out this petition which is attracting a lot of well deserved support to create a national cycling road race for junior girls. But what I hear you say, doesn't one already exist? No! Hard to believe and it means that junior girls go straight from youth to senior racing. It's got to be a key factor to the high drop off rates for girls and probably also contributes to the recent cancellations of some of the women's races recently.
If you are passionate about women's cycling then please sign this petition - it only takes 2 seconds and it could mean the difference between having 7 women showing up for a race and having 35 women showing up for a race.
Far be it from me to re-write something already so well worded so read Charlotte Cole-Hossain's great post on the HHV facebook page too - you can't help but be inspired to sign!
