Iris Dixon Award Winner - 2015
Cycling Victoria International Women's Day Award.
On Thursday 5th March a few of us attended the Cycling Victoria International Women's Day Awards. It's an annual event to celebrate the women in cycling who are making a difference, supporting women on bikes, or doing their best to spread the word about women's cycling.
Wheel Women was nominated for 4 of the 5 categories:
-
Champions of Change
-
Best Development Initiative
-
Excellence in Covering Women's Cycling (including social media)
-
Iris Dixon Woman of the Year
It was SO exciting to have been nominated in the 4 categories alongside such luminaries in the women's cycling world. Each woman/group nominated is really making it happen. So it was an honour to be included.
The BIG news is that we took out the Iris Dixon Women of the Year Award. Woohoo!
Although Tina McCarthy's was listed as the recipient, it is important to note this award would not have been received without the help of everyone who helps make Wheel Women such a strong supporter of women's cycling.
We especially want to mention:
