10 Riders Who Don’t Care it’s November

As part of our #TWCMotivember series, we're showing off the riders who don't care it's November

Last week we launched #TWCMotivember – our very own Total Women’s Cycling campaign that is all about inspiring women in our community (online and offline!) to stay motivated and keep riding through November.

#TWCMotivember is this month’s campagin. It’s is all about inspiring you to get out and enjoy clocking up winter miles on the bike. Come rain, shine and even snow, we want you to share with us your November rides for a chance to win cycling goodies.

To keep this motivation train in motion, we figured we’d lead by example and show off some awesome athletes and riders who just don’t care it’s November.

First up is British Elite downhill racer, Tahnée Seagrave. It may be the off-season, but the young rising star of DH is out there tearing it up on the bike, and in the gym.

REVS ❤️ #longlivechainsaw

Some tandem action from road cycling star, Marianne Vos and Paralympian Kathrin Goeken.

Offseason makes time for unusual things. Tandem ride yesterday; great fun and good lessons by Paralympian Kathrin Goeken! (Btw, Kathrin zoekt nog een enthousiaste pilote voor de komende tijd; iemand interesse om rond te vliegen met deze gouden topper?)

The women’s cycling initiative, Strongher, have been out pushing their limits and challenging women to pedal those bikes

We had loads of fun with this week's #StrongherChallenge! Unfortunately we failed miserably, instead of 80K we rode 60K ???? We're going to make it up in next week's Challenge though. How did you do in this week's Challenge?

2014 World Champion downhill racer, Manon Carpenter shows us that you can look super stylish this season.

Blowing out some cobwebs on the road bike! Obviously too excited to zip up/get dressed properly, felt so good to be out on a bike again ☺️????????

The Barnes sisters have been out cycling and training together. Aww, sisterly love!

Second day on the bike post break and I had Ali to keep me company. I did have to tell her to leave me though, it was to painful trying to keep up with her.

Cyclo-cross champion, Helen Wyman is back in the saddle taking baby steps after injury

Back in the game! Baby steps for a couple more months, but they are still steps.

Like birds in migration, many professional athletes jet off to warmer climates in the off season to catch some rays, and train more comfortably.

We’re giving out a spot prize every week, with gifts from Torq, plus Camelback and Giro accessories.

For a chance to win, we’re asking you to send in your own November riding pictures by tagging them with #TWCMotivember on Twitter and Intsagram or by posting them as comments on our Facebook page.
