Blue Ridge ‘Cross Team
[Women’s Elite-Development Cyclocross Team]
“Our passion is more than just racing bikes and receiving professional level support. It’s creating the ‘next step’ for the talented and hard-working female juniors and U-23s who are quickly rising in the USA; to give these girls the same support as their male counterparts. In essence, the team is more of a cause, a ‘gender-equity’ mission.”
-Team Founders, coaches Allison Arensman and Sonni Dyer - Studio7 Multisport - October 2016
Our Mission
Blue Ridge ‘Cross (BRC) is a Carolina’s based elite women’s development team focused on Cyclocross. Our mission is to close the support gap between grass roots cycling teams and continental professional teams in women’s development. Junior/U23 Women have fewer options than men supporting their development at UCI National Events and parents are often left to navigate these events and USA Cycling systems alone.
At Blue Ridge Cross, we are passionate about women in cycling and providing a supportive, women’s focused platform enabling Jr & U23 Women to be successful at the National & International levels. Our culture and strategy stems from >10 years of experience working with female Juniors & U23 riders at EvoDevo, BRC, Supporting the Jr Experience at North Carolina Cyclocross CX National Championships in Asheville, and competing at Cyclocross, Road, and Mountain Bike National Championship events since 2011.
