The American Women’s Cycling Network was founded in 2018 by Monique Trammell who experienced first-hand the feeling of isolation after relocating from her home state of California to New England.

She got married and quickly became the mother of two young boys. Feeling she still wanted to stay connected to a sport she loved, she founded a local women’s cycling club to meet other women with whom she shared the love of cycling.

In just six years, the Grafton Women’s Cycling Club exploded into a county-wide club with over 500 female members, now known as Worcester County Women’s Cycling! 

Trammell recognized the profound success of this one “little” cycling club that was started by one “stay-at-home mom” as a symbol of the increasing need and desire for women to come together and deepen their sense of community through the recreational sport of cycling.

Her founding of a women’s cycling club has had a positive influence on the lives of so many women that she was inspired to help other women create the same opportunity in their own communities across the country by founding the American Women’s Cycling Network.
