“What would we do differently if we had the chance to call the shots?” That’s the question teammates Ramsey and Elliot started asking themselves a year into racing. They wanted to use their voice to steer women’s road bike racing in a new direction.
It was a conversation over dinner and wine that led to them launching Ruckus Racing. The pair chatted about barriers and setbacks women face, such as few resources for beginner riders, a lack of supportive or progressive events.
Ruckus Racing was born to create an inspiring place for women to enter the sport. They wanted to create a community where women were supported in learning, racing and building their experience.
Yes, the name Ruckus Racing is a bit tongue in cheek by causing a disturbance in the racing scene but they are also helping cycling catch up with the times to be more inclusive.
If you want to support and follow the ladies at Ruckus Racing send them your love on Instagram. The team is also proudly supported by SamSara and Velosophy.
