Women
Meet our Women’s Program Leader, Janna Dickerson
Janna Dickerson was born and raised in Fort Collins in a bicycle-loving family and enjoys a good adventure on the bike, or simply commuting around town. Janna has been part of the Fort Follies almost from the beginning, joining in 2015, and loves being part of a team aimed to bring the joy of bikes to more women. In addition to riding with the Fort Follies, she joined Team Rio Grande in 2019 and has raced on road and gravel, including every year at the FoCo Fondo!

2023 had 31% female participants (over 500 women!). Our women’s program aims to close the gender gap by addressing barriers that prevent more women from joining. Some of these include:
Direct outreach to Front Range women’s cycling organizations
Bike Sports TV Garage videos aimed to teach basic gravel bike maintenance in a replicable way.
Additional opportunities to come.
