Kim Stoveld at Keswick Cycle Paoli

​The Philly Cycling Classic came back in August after ten years off, and one of the local women racing it was Kim Stoveld. She lives a few blocks from the start line, and she spent part of the race in the breakaway.

​Kim didn't really get into bikes until she was 30. Now she races Category 1 for Automatic Racing and works as a nurse. She's won races in Belgium, Harlem and Tucson, and she's a big part of why her team got into the Classic.

​She's coming to the Paoli shop to talk about all of it: what racing at that level is really like, what it's like being a woman in the sport, and how the Classic went.

​You don't have to race to get something out of this. If you've ever thought you started too late, she's a good person to talk to. It's free and we'll have food, just register so we know how much to order. Bring questions!
