About The Femalley Cat

It All Started…
After retiring as a courier Jen Nordhem thought it would be fun to take a stab at racing a criterium. During the race she had a realization that she had never raced against only women, and the idea of the Femalley Cat was born. She wants to promote women’s racing in a fun, non-intimidating atmosphere in the place she loves most, THE STREETS!

This is the Femalley Cat’s second year! Last year we had 25 racers participate, most of whom had never raced before! We had a blast and gave away a TON of cool stuff! Check out the event recap from last year in this post.

On to 2010!

You don’t need a fixed gear, and you don’t need to be fast. Just show up with your bike ready to meet some other girls who love bikes as much as you! The ladies manifest will be posted here in advance, so you can plan out your route.

(What’s a manifest? Read definitions on the FAQ page!)

NEW TO 2010!

You could call the Broseph Invitational the boyfriend race to the Femalley Cat, and it sure as hell won’t be no ride in the park. The dudes who threw the Lo-Hi Scramble, Declan and Kris, will be organizing the BRO, if you don’t know what that means prepare for the worst. You should probably carb load the night before. Yeah, bro, it’s gonna be serious.

And girls, don’t worry, event though you’re racing at the same time, the boys won’t get in your way because you have different routes.

Who is throwing this race, anyway?!
Jen started the Femalley Cat last year. She’s raced and thrown a lot of races, writes a lot about bikes and currently coaches indoor cycling at Breathe Denver. You can find her on Twitter: @MsHurricane.

New to 2010… Chelsea, Kris and Declan are co-organizers!

Chelsea (cdagger) is stoked to be a part of the event this year! She likes bikes, beer, delicious vegetarian food, her cat, and some other stuff. She doesn’t like her braces so much. You can find her on Twitter: @ChelsEats

We are all really excited to see some new faces out there and can’t wait to meet you!
