All Ride With...?

We from “The Women All Ride” – collective want to represent the cycling world in all its diversity. Therefore we have initiated the category: ALL RIDE WITH…! Every month we present a unique personality here: A person who has caught our eye through their presence, their appearance, their sporting achievements or thanks to their ability to inspire and motivate. Every person is different and unique.

In the form of an interview, the persons presented can choose their preferred questions from several and answer them.

Can you immediately think of someone? Then send us a message! We look forward to your suggestions and can’t wait to meet more inspiring personalities!

In October, our ALL RIDE WITH category will become ALL RIDE FOR!

ALL RIDE FOR Ana Orenz!

So far, Ana Orenz has won every one of her ultra races. She was the fastest woman at the Race Across France Challenge 2018, the Transpyrenees 2019, the Paris Brest Paris 2019 and the 2VS 2020. And then it came differently….

A few weeks ago, she had a serious accident in an ultra-endurance race. Ana collided with a pack of wild boars in the dark and suffered serious injuries. Ana is a fighter, but the road to recovery is still long and expensive.

Johanna is organising a Solidarity Ride for Ana in Hamburg on Sunday 24.10.21 in cooperation with FC St. Pauli Radsport.

To remind the body that we are still alive.

7. What event will we meet you at next?

Depends on how long my recovery lasts.

Commuting by bike is rewarded with a pay rise to relieve the health system and counteract climate change.

Even though I myself have been very welcoming almost exclusively, I think that

the scene could be a bit more open.

Legs have a right to freedom too! Please make more shorts with generous legs. (The same goes for leg warmers)
