About Us
In 2017 many Alberta races granted category 1/2/3 women the opportunity to have their own start line at races. This was a great step for cycling in Alberta to show the women in Alberta that we do have a place in the sport. Prior to this 1/2/3 women raced alongside category 3 men, which can be intimidating as the race doubles in distance and the field is ten times the size.
​
Watt Riot Cycling wants to continue to help grow and support this community, and empower women in all levels of cycling.
What’s your name about?
Thanks for asking! Watt is short for wattage, which is a measurement of power often used by cyclists as a way to gauge improvement and measure performance against other cyclists. Riot is an impressively large or varied display of something. Although this word can have some negative connotations behind it, that wasn’t what we were going for. Our team aims to be an impressively large display of female power.​​​​​

I want to join your team!
That’s awesome! ​We love new cyclists and are super excited to see the community grow. If you’re a woman or self identified woman, we welcome you to consider joining.
Our team is typically by invite only, however, we do occasionally take on riders by request.
