Please read this from Ayesha Rosena Anna McGowan (Diversity Tsar) ๐ŸฆŠ. Think about it, and take it to heart. Listen to the voices that aren't being heard. Challenge yourself and those close to you to take action, to do more than we are already doing. Together.

Bike industry: this post is LOUD. Ayesha is doing a lot of emotional labor for free - she says this herself - and you should make sure it isn't for nothing. Read this, take it to heart, and then take ACTION. Don't let valuable resources go to waste.

Last time I was in Tucson: 2014 for the world premiere of HalfTheRoad. Since then, one of many things Kathryn Bertine also created was HomestretchFdn. I was so glad to join her and the Stretchies today for their weekly group rideโ€”two days before HalfTheRoad's 9th anniversary!

Jan 29 is a meaningful day for me. Our 9th anniv of HalfTheRoad. The film that sparked a movement for equality in cycling & led to La Course by Le Tour then Le Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. (Plenty of personal meltdowns too all in the book STAND.) Still worth every struggle. Equality always is.โค๏ธ๐Ÿ“š๐ŸŽฅ

How so super meaningful is this?!! Visiting HomestretchFdn with Kathryn Bertine on the 9th Anniversary of HalfTheRoad! She's wearing her HomestretchFdn Equality Kit, and I'm wearing one of the original Half the Road shirts, which I also wore to the world premiere in 2014!

Super cool! Cycling advocate & incredible chocolatier Chris Rivera made scrumptious artisanal bonbons for our HalfTheRoad anniv & our HomestretchFdn athletes. Delish!

SuzeCY Chris Rivera HalfTheRoad HomestretchFdn I truly believe marketing these bonbons could be used to secure the funding needed to sustainably create two more weeks at Le Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. Let's go, A.S.O.. Put me in charge and I'll get it done. ๐Ÿ˜˜

I have new social media accounts for my chocolatier business! I invite you also to follow me here & Instagram Chris Rivera Chocolatier and Facebook facebook.com/CRchocolatier. I comment in my intro post that in my own way, I eventually plan to pair cycling and chocolate. More to come!

Just my luck: I launched this new account yesterday, which was a day that people all across Twitter couldn't follow accounts. Welp, what can you do. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Eat chocolate, of course. I mean make chocolate... I have Valentine's orders to fulfill. ...Okay, both. I'm doing both. ๐Ÿ˜„

Working with chocolate requires a lot of skill, patience, and attention to detail. This is especially true when making chocolate bonbons. This post from The Chocolate Journalist gives a great look behind the scenes, plus chocolatiers like me share our insights in response.

Great to see equalized prize money for the Flanders Classics races. Along with that is the all-important live race coverage, which allows for a lot of growth, visibility, and ROI for the events and team sponsors. Spring Classics start this Feb. 25 with Omloop Het Nieuwsblad! #OHN

Ok Twitter buds & cycling fans! Our annual kit drive is here. The iconic equality jersey is back. Proceeds go to HomestretchFdn. (Cool new stuff this year, too. White jersey! Socks! Oooh.) Join us, Lycra warriors. Everyone looks good in equality. ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿšด๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช

I'm super excited to travel back to Tucson for this special 10th Anniversary screening of HalfTheRoad! I was there at the world premiere back in 2014, and looking back through all these years, the feeling I had was true: it was the monumental start of so much good for our sport.
