Help Support Elite Women's Cycling in America 2023

Tax deductible
Hello, I am Helen Gilbert-Snyder, the road captain and team leader for one of the few elite all-women road cycling teams in America, Monarch Racing, Presented by KaiVelo.

Support Women's Cycling and Athletics
There are few options for elite women's road racing in NorCal, and Monarch Racing, presented by KaiVelo, aims to provide opportunity and support and grow women's cycling locally and at the elite level. We aim to bring more attention to women's cycling and get top women athletes out there winning high-profile races.

Meet the Team
Monarch Racing is made up of top female athletes and cycling ambassadors, including:
  • Annie Whalen, former D1 Rower
  • Jamie Chapman, 10th place at the Half-Ironman World Championships
  • Chloe Mauvais, 1st at the Folsom Classic bike race
  • Whitney Post, 1st at the 2021 Belgian Waffle Ride Triple Crown of Gravel
  • Rachel Parker - 2022 California Crit Champion
  • Claudia Ferreira - DVM from U.C. Davis
  • Helen Gilbert-Snyder, California Road Race State Champion 2021

We Need Your Help
We need to raise $25,000 to help pay for lodging, transport, and race entry fees so that our team can compete in the best domestic races in 2023.

While there are many ways you can support women's athletics, with Monarch Racing, we are 100% women-managed and operated. Your donation will go to a grassroots effort where the women athletes are in charge.

And besides, bicycles are fun. They are good for the planet. They are good for your health. People should ride them for sport, leisure, or just to get around town. Our team is committed to bringing more attention to the benefits of cycling for all.

Thank you for supporting women's cycling,
Helen
