News Yoplait Nouriche Women’s Cycling Summit
Fifth
Yoplait Nouriche Women’s Cycling Summit The
Yoplait Nouriche Women’s Cycling Summit will return to the Great River
Energy Bicycle Festival on Wednesday, June 8.
Participants will include riders and managers competing in the
Nature Valley Grand Prix, cycling luminaries from across the country and
area cyclists. The mission of these Summits is to build women’s cycling at
both the grassroots and elite level in North America. Past
Yoplait Nouriche Summits have covered a broad range of topics.
The Summit held in June of 2004 presented panel discussions on
giving more value to your sponsors and on working with the media.
The following October, the Summit at Interbike covered bike
industry sponsorships and strategies for making bike shops more welcoming
to women. The
upcoming Summit will include a town hall meeting on the Women’s Prestige
Cycling Series. This women-only series, which had its start in the 2003
Summits, is highlighting women’s racing by giving them a spotlight that
the women don’t have to share with the men.
Series events include the Redlands Bicycle Classic, the Nature
Valley Grand Prix, the Tour de ‘Toona/International, and the Bermuda
Grand Prix. Grassroots
topics will include strategies for recruiting women to recreational and
racing clubs. Other topics
will be announced when the agenda is released in May.
The Summit is a collaborative project and the organizers welcome
your input on the agenda. The
Yoplait Summits, which are now sponsored by Yoplait Nouriche, began at the
2003 Great River Energy Bicycle Festival.
They take place twice annually: at the Festival in June and at the
Interbike trade show in October. The
next Yoplait Nouriche Summit will take place on Wednesday, June 8, in
Saint Paul, Minnesota. Details on the time and location will be released in May. The
conference will be open to anyone who is interested in building women’s
cycling. For more information, visit www.WomenCyclists.com or send an email to Summits@WomenCyclists.com
