Pete Stetina is a gravel racer, and a gravel racer promoter. For his Sept. 11 race, Stetina’s Paydirt, Stetina is offering a cash payout only for the women, and has time bonuses for things like riding a mechanical bull and lassoing a keg with a tire.
“Throughout my career the women raced early and got less exposure than the men, and I’ve thought about that, a lot,” Stetina said. “I can’t fix it alone, but if everyone who thought about equality in cycling did a little bit to try and fix it, things would change for the better. So we’re going to do what we can, and I hope it inspires others to do the same.”
