OWL.bike is Proud to Be Home of the FIRST all women’s UCI 60+ Grand Masters TTT team!

10 extraordinary women ranging in age from UCI 65-80, train together and compete weekly in WTRL's eSport Team Time Trial.

Defying societal norms...
one pedal stroke at a time

In a world dominated by youth, a remarkable group of women cyclists aged 55 and above, defy societal norms. With each race or ride they participate in on Zwift, they shatter preconceived notions and inspire countless women to keep pedaling.

10 extraordinary women ranging in age from UCI 65-80, train together and compete weekly in WTRL’s eSport Team Time Trial (TTT).

The experience empowers older women cyclists by teaching them to challenge their limits and perceived abilities, set goals and achieve them, and experience success!

To ensure we provide an optimal experience, our team is limited to 10 women. OWL Club riders are given first opportunity to tryout when a position opens.
