we think polka dots will look good on you!

So why would I want to join the Fort Follies? We’re a pretty rad group of women who make up an encouraging, fun team to be a part of! Being on the team, you can expect to meet new cyclists to ride with, have teammates to train and race with, learn new cycling-specific skills and bike maintenance, be able to join regular group rides, get a sweet looking kit, check out training workshops and get coaching advice, and so many more spontaneous nuggets of awesomeness!

There are no minimum level of experience or race participation requirements to be a Fort Follies member.

Membership dues are $55.00 for new members and $30 for returning. We do have scholarships available for those who need financial assistance.

Registrations are accepted starting January 1st. We will be leaving registration open throughout the summer for anyone who finds us later in the year, but can not prorate dues. We order kits in February, so make sure to register early in the year if you would like to order a team kit.

The Fort Follies is for all cyclists comfortable in a fem spaces, including cis-women, transfemme, and non-binary cyclists.
