Racers ride non-stop finishing in Durango 2-3 days later.

B4T9 WOMEN'S CYCLING TEAM is a non-profit organization established in 2008 that provides scholarships and financial support to individuals and organizations that get more girls and women on bikes.  B4 (Be4fore) T (Title), 9 (IX) represents the generation of women who had limited opportunity to participate in organized sports.  Our membership is committed to paying forward to the next generations of female athletes. Our tag line, "It's Never Too Late To Play Hard" encourages participation at any age! For more information about the B4T9 cycling team, visit b4t9.com

FOUR FEISTY FEMMES is a 4-woman team of B4T9'ers who will be at the start line of Race Across the West 2023 in support of  Little Bellas.  Our goal is to establish a new women's age 60+ record for the distance. The race team includes Liz Inglese, Carol Pope, Avery Wilmanns, and Jill Gass, who have a combined 100+ years cycling experience- it's not our first rodeo!  We have not forgotten our first bike ride and the feeling of accomplishment, power, and independence it provided.  We are committed to making sure the newest generation has that experience and more through the Little Bellas' programs.  

LITTLE BELLAS is a mountain bike organization whose goal is to help young women reach their fullest potential. We aim to create a community to empower women through cycling, accent the importance of goals and a healthy lifestyle, and emphasize a positive female bond. While this program is centered around creating female camaraderie on bikes, it is most importantly about having fun in a constructive environment!
