Women Who Ride: Kate Veronneau, Katie Boling & the Rise of inGamba Women's Weeks
<p>What does it feel like to show up to your bike already prepped, your route loaded, your tires perfect — with nothing left to do but ride? For the women who joined inGamba's sold-out Calpe women's week this past February, that was just the beginning. Cycling Conversations with inGamba co-host Molly Hurford sits down with two Kates who made it happen. First up is Kate Veronneau, the force behind the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, who joined the Calpe trip as a guest and came away with a new answer to what a pro cycling experience actually feels like. Then co-host James Startt takes over to chat with Katie Boling, inGamba's women's program lead, about how the numbers of women on inGamba trips have climbed past 30% — and what comes next.</p><p>Between them, they cover the team-camp energy of 15 women from four continents riding the sun-drenched climbs of Costa Blanca, a private nine-course dinner at a seasonal restaurant that hadn't even opened yet, and why Lecchi in Tuscany and the Algarve coast of Portugal are the next two destinations on the women's calendar.</p><p>Kate V. also gives a preview of what to expect from the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift this summer: a route starting on Lake Geneva, a finish in Nice, and a Ventoux stage with 12,500 cyclists on the mountain the day before the women race it.</p><p><b>In this episode:</b></p><ul><li>What the Calpe women's week felt like from the inside: the riding, the bonds, the best meal of the trip</li><li>Why inGamba <i>isn't</i> a training camp, and why that's exactly the point</li><li>How Katie Boling has helped grow women's participation at inGamba and what the dedicated trips offer</li><li>Upcoming women's weeks: Lecchi, Tuscany (fall) and Algarve, Portugal (January 2027)</li><li>Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift 2025 preview with Kate Veronneau</li></ul><p>Want to join an upcoming women's trip?

The Art of Solo Dining & Finding Flow on the Bike: Behind the Scenes of THE MAGAZINE
<p>What does eating alone have to do with riding bikes? More than you'd think—and this episode makes a compelling case for both. Host Molly Hurford is joined by writer Colin O'Brien and inGamba creative director James Startt for a conversation around two features from the new issue of inGamba’s latest issue of<i> The Magazine</i>. Colin's piece "Party of One" is a love letter to the art of dining solo: the freedom, the focus, and why putting the phone away is half the battle. James also takes the group to Siena, a city as close to inGamba's heart as the races that finish there, covered in the magazine by Barry Ryan.</p><p></p><p>Then Bill Strickland, Editorial Director of the Hearst Enthusiast Group and one of cycling journalism's most celebrated voices, joins for a wide-ranging conversation on what it means to stay in love with the sport across a decades-long career. His piece in the magazine, "The Flow," captures something all three have felt — that state of being fully present on the bike, whether alone on a descent or tucked into an echelon with new friends. They also get into the riders they'd most want to sit down with for a meal.</p><p></p><p><b>In this episode:</b></p><ul><li>Colin O'Brien on the joy of dining alone, and how to actually do it without doom-scrolling</li><li>Siena: cycling city, Renaissance city, and one of inGamba's most beloved destinations</li><li>Bill Strickland on "flow": what it is, why it matters, and how inGamba embodies it</li><li>James and Bill on how their love of cycling has evolved from racing to something richer</li><li>The riders they'd most want to share a coffee (or a bottle) with</li></ul><p></p><p>Learn more and book a trip at<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://ingamba.pro/" target="_blank"> ingamba.pro</a></p><p>Want to get a copy of THE MAGAZINE?
