The Holiday Season’s Best Gift? Taking Care of . . .YOU!
  • 2025.12.05
  • 0

Self-care isn't a reward you earn after you’ve finished the holiday sprint; it’s the fuel that gets you across the finish line without collapsing in a heap of tinsel and resentment.

Cycling has become my daily gratitude practice, both outside on real roads and inside on the roads of Zwift. Every ride gives me fresh reasons to say “thank you”.

Relearning to Climb: Kicking That Pain in the Butt Goodbye!
  • 2025.06.18

Ever wonder what cadence feels right on climbs? For me, the answer hit hard: it's time to spin faster. Why? Because at 65, racing with Team OWL toward my goal of still riding at 80+ means protecting my body for decades of watts ahead.

OLDER WOMEN IN LYCRA

Pedal with Purpose:
Empowering Women 50+
One Ride at a Time

OWL.BiKe isn’t just a cycling community—it’s a flock of unstoppable women in Lycra rewriting the rules on what power looks like past 50. We’re Older Women in Lycra (OWLs), and we’ve decided blending in is overrated.
For us, showing up beats showing off every time. Some of us chase watts in Tuesday ZRL races, others roll into our Grey Zone Empowerment rides—think trivia, laughter, and light pedaling while learning what real empowerment feels like. Whether you’re spinning easy or pushing hard, every ride is a win because you showed up and had fun doing it.
OWL.BiKe is where friendship meets grit. We lift each other up with genuine gratitude and a good dose of humor, reminding one another that we still get to do this—and that’s worth celebrating. There’s no talk of slowing down here, only building strength, confidence, and joy.
In our flock, age isn’t a limit—it’s an edge. We ride together, laugh together, and rise together. Because when OWLs take flight, the world can’t help but notice.
