Roll call! Bethel ('B') Steele (they/them or he/him) is a gravel, mountain biking, and bikepacking connoisseur. B has been a champion for non-binary and gender expansive race categories in cycling events, working with those events to create a more inclusive and welcoming environment, because everyone should have, and know that they have, a place in cycling.
FoCo Fondo offers a non-binary category in addition to men and women, complete with equal prize purse on the Triple Dog Dare You Route as well as age group podiums.
Bethel will be supporting our Non-Binary / Gender Expansive initiative and scholarship entry program, which opens February 1! In addition to a free entry, event housing, transportation support, and childcare grants are also available. Check out our community initiatves link in bio for more info and reach out to Bethel if you have any questions!
