 Pod introToday I talk with Rich from Western Bike Events, a new MTB enduro series set in South Wales for 2023. We talk about how he set up this series and get an insight into the amount of work that goes into it. Rich wants to get more women to sign up to his enduro and we have an open chat about the barriers women can experience when thinking about entering races and all the awesome things Rich is doing to combat them. We also discuss the complete lack of representation from people of colour in the sport. This is a conversation I will be having in a lot more depth in future episodes, led by the wonderful Janine. We get Rich’s perspective on the constraints a race organiser experiences in implementing the solutions we think would be really easy and he removes a lot of blind spots. It is a longer episode than usual however it is bursting with value so well worth a listen.If you are a race or event organiser, have a female in your life who rides bikes, or work for a MTB brand and want to reach more people of colour and female riders with your marketing then this episode is for you. I learnt so much from it. Check out the written Q&A and the end of the show notes. Rich gave in depth answers to the audience questions that were submitted on social media. Absolute GOLD.The Guest: Richard is a mountain bike enduro event organiser who’s responsible for Western Bike Events Ltd, a company which he owns equally with his wife, Sara. For his first year he’s focussed on delivering an enduro series across South Wales, the Valleys Enduro Series. The VES is a mixed series where the women’s categories are the same as the mens categories equally. He plans to grow the series and diversify his events.Originally from Cumbria where his love of mountains and interest in the outdoors was sparked from an early age. He’s owned a mountain bike in one form or another for most of his life; however, it wasn't until 2006 that the mtb bug finally bit hard. He’s married to Sara and has two children. You can follow him: Richard 's Facebook group , Richard 's Facebook page , @Western-bike-events on Instagram.Take away's from the episode:“You can not be what you can not see”. There are barely any ‘everyday’ female rider photographs to use in promo for racing and even less representing people of colour. Rich is open to chats with anyone who would like to provide some decent action bike photos from these underrepresented groups.Although we think the solutions to the barriers we discuss are straightforward, there is more to it when making things a reality; practical, logistical and financial constraints all play a part. It is always worth considering this. Rich spoke about barely seeing any women come forward for dig days. He would love to see this change.
