These three amazing women are treats to listen to by themselves but together they are absolutely stunning. This is a podcast you don't want to miss!This week the two titans of women cycling reporting, Clara Beard and Sarah Connolly (Cohost of The Unofficial Unsanctioned Women's UCI Cycling Podcast), talk with the amazing Monique Hanley. Monique is an Executive Board Member of Cycling Victoria and Chair of Cycling Australia's Women's Cycling Commission. She has also ridden across Canada and the United States, as well as won a bronze at Australia's Track National Championships. Monique was also a member of Team Type 1's race team until a traumatic crash and recently gave birth to a beautiful baby.
Clara, Sarah, and Monique discuss how Monique got into cycling, got Cycling Victoria to where they are now, and how she developed templates for other federations to use as tools to enhance women's cycling. The ladies discuss how Monique broke through the Old School mentality related to equal prize money. Listen in to find out how Monique established a mandate that required any sanctioned race in Victoria to have equal prize money, what "equal is equal" means, and how silly it is for any race organizer to fight against equal prize money. Clara then talks to Monique about the importance of setting up junior/u23 races transition races, the growing popularity of cyclocross in Australia, and Clara suggests she teaches the Aussie's the importance of "the rubber chicken hand up." The trio then discusses the controversial topic of "podium girls" and how Monique banned podium models in Victoria. They finish the show with the topics of sports elitist culture and the impact it has on women's participation and how Cycling Victoria strives to retain new race license holders.Related Show Links:
