Our Mission

We center, protect, and grow spaces for Women/Trans/Femme/Non-Binary riders in the cycling community. We empower them through education, development, and performance

About

Ride or Die Collective was founded by a desire to create a platform for women to reach their highest goals in a safe and supportive environment. What once was a group ride of 4 friends in a matching kit turned into the largest riding community in the Rockies.

When founder, Rebecca Brough decided to launch on International Women’s Day 2021 with a mask-required group ride, in no way did she think 70+ women would join. It was a bit overwhelming, a little scary but completely eye-opening to the need for WTFN-B protected spaces. From that day on her life’s mission was to change the status quo of what it meant to be a WTFN-B athlete.

Fast forward to 2024, RDC is certified 501c3 led by Taylor Brower and Rebecca Brough, and over 100+ amazing members.

Our Structure

Our Collective team will continue to focus on community growth with new goals set to increase WTFN-B participation in sports. Participation on the team requires riders to go through an application process and meet specific expectations.

The Collective Team is for those who are looking for community and a sense of belonging in a male-dominated sport.We have realized that this organization attracts vast journeys, and as a leader in this community, we want to create space for wherever your journey lies.

We understand that not everyone will meet the requirements of the team but we believe that if there is a will then there is a way. We will continue to offer community rides open to the public while also adding more educational clinics that riders can attend to get to know RDC, enhance bike skills, and test their commitments.

Collective Team members will be selected by a committee of members. If we have not had the chance to ride with you, we will ask to schedule a virtual or in-person meet-up on or off the bike. The Collective Team members are selected based on their alignment with RDC’s mission, commitment to community, and accountability.

RIDE OR DIE RACING

We're Ride or Die Racing (RDC), a Domestic Elite Team dedicated to creating inclusive spaces for WTFN-B (Women, Trans, Femme, Non-Binary) athletes in cycling. We believe everyone deserves a chance to chase their cycling dreams, and we've been working hard to make that a reality by fostering a welcoming environment and hosting inclusive rides, clinics, and workshops. We've helped countless women reach their first start line and inspired many others to pursue the sport at the highest level.
