We are thrilled to see @usacycling feature Executive Director Joan Hanscom (@jmh16) this week for #womenshistorymonth! The article, “Joan Hanscom’s Continued Impact On The Cycling Community” ⁠covers how Joan got into cycling through the influence of other women in the sport such as VPCC Board Member Cheryl Osborne (@superco777). From that influence, Joan is continuing to champion the growth of women in the sport through efforts like the #5050in50 campaign to make VPCC track participation 50% women by our 50th anniversary in 2025!⁠ ⁠ Check the link in bio to read it!⁠ ⁠ Photo by @vishrut_fa⁠ ⁠ #ttown2021 #ttownisgreatfortrackracing #womenscycling #5050in50 #LVMadePossible⁠

The "50/50 in 50" initiative intends to make 50% of our participant's women by 2025, the 50th anniversary of the track. Many women have raced here by starting in the community programs, such as Friday night regular @elspeth_huyett and we're expanding the entry points for women of all experience levels to race on track. ⁠ ⁠ Check out the link in bio to head to our website to learn about more opportunities for women to get on track. ⁠ ⁠ Photo by @trevorraab⁠ ⁠ #ttown2021 #ttownisgreatfortrackracing #womenscycling #5050in50 #LVMadePossible⁠
