A buddy who visited her during a stay in France persuaded her to do it. Lara, who lives in Munich, used to go mountain biking with her father from time to time, but she had never sat on a road bike before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it was exhaustingly warm when she climbed the mythical Tour mountain in the Provence region, she caught fire.

She is a founding member and guide of the Munich-based Female Cycling Force and an Alpecin Ride Captain in the Bavarian capital. Whether she travels for fun or for business, she always finds an opportunity to get in some bike kilometres \u2013 on vacation preferably in the Tuscany region or on Mallorca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She loves to ride at the front of a pack of fellow female riders, just as much as she loves speedy downhill rides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What fascinates her most about cycling \u2013 besides the speed and the challenge that is innate to riding \u2013 is to be close to nature and the range of motion, i.e., that even far away destinations are within reach by using mere muscle power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Marie-Louise<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d710feca46b&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d710feca46b\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-18-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-57655\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-18-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-18-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-18-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-18-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-18-1060x1590.jpg 1060w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-18-700x1050.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-18-325x488.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-18.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When Marie-Louise from the British city of Bath was a child, she had rather mixed feelings when it came to cycling. Her parents used to take her with them on their tandem bike, but when she turned a teenager, she swore she would never ride a bike again because to her it seemed really \u201cnot a cool thing to do\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was, however, before her family decided to take part in a triathlon race, and Marie-Louise had to get on the saddle again to do so. The intended \u201conce in a lifetime\u201d venture has since become a regularity in her life, with many starts i triathlon- and cycling races and a membership in a local British women\u2019s team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She loves about road cycling that it allows to go for extremes \u2013 smooth and relaxed or full throttle. She enjoys both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as much as she likes going on adventure rides on her bike.

But it was only when she bought a cyclocross bike back in 2017 that she discovered her true love for cycling.

That&#8217;s why she became Alpecin Ride Captain for the Allg\u00e4u region in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of variety \u2013 she is curious to learn how a group of girls who have only met briefly via calls but have never ridden a single kilometre together will get along under Tour de Femmes conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Nora<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d710feccc83&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d710feccc83\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-17-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-57653\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-17-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-17-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-17-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-17-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-17-1060x1590.jpg 1060w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-17-700x1050.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-17-325x488.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-17.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And off he went! Nora always felt a sense of longing when she watched her boyfriend go for a ride on his road bike. \u201cI wanted to know what he was experiencing and what it felt like to ride a road bike,\u201d says the online marketing manager who lives in Vienna. That\u2019s why she once joined him for a ride \u2013 handicap included, because unlike her boyfriend&#8217;s light racer, the city bike she rode on was quite heavy. Exhausted, but not demotivated, she wanted more; she borrowed a friend\u2019s road bike \u2013 and was hooked immediately. That was in the summer of 2017, and since Nora Helene has been riding, no matter the weather. When she sits on the saddle she enjoys getting ahead quickly, but at the same time to be more aware of her surroundings and explore them more closely than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She shares the experience she collects on training rides, but also in races such as the \u201cRace around Austria\u201d, as \u201cUnicorn Cycling\u201d on Instagram and on her blog \u2013 and when asked by the media she also happily states her opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She will ride the tour through France on her Cannondale SuperSix, that she nicknamed SuSi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Linda<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d710fecd907&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d710fecd907\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-14-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-57647\" width=\"681\" height=\"1021\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-14-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-14-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-14-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-14-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-14-1060x1590.jpg 1060w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-14-700x1050.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-14-325x488.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.alpecincycling.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Tour-de-France-Femmes-Plantur-Sebastian-Bentzin-14.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Linda is a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to sports. Therefore, it was just a matter of time until she would end up riding a road bike. In addition to running, yoga, snowboarding, cross-fit and many other indoor and outdoor activities, Linda, who lives in Munich, has also been a part of the local road bike community for a few years and even founded her own group about a year ago: the Female Cycling Force, which meets for road bike rides before and after work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA road bike covers long distances in a short time, and when all goes well you just let it roll at high speed \u2013 it\u2019s so much fun,\u201d she says. She also likes how group members support each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The initial spark that kindled her cycling passion was one of the greats of this sport: Fabian Cancellara. She went on her first tour with \u201cSpartacus\u201d as part of the Laureus Sport Awards and was quickly intrigued by the silent moving forward on narrow tyres. Her Specialized Aethos that she will bring to France is called Rosalie for a reason. Her first bike was a purple Specialized Venge with glittery paint that she named Edward after the character from the vampire series Twilight, as: \u201cEdward, too, glitters in the sunlight,\u201d says Linda. And the name of Edward\u2019s sister is Rosalie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the first time in 14 years, a real Tour de France for women will take place again in 2022.
