The Nature Valley Grand Prix, part of the Great River Energy Bicycle Festival, was the site of the seventh Yoplait Nouriche Women's Cycling Summit in June. Topics on the agenda included gaining recognition for women in male-dominated sports and entry level programming for women.
The keynote speaker was NASCAR driver Kari Miller. Miller discussed the challenges that she faces in a sport that has historically been the exclusive domain of men. She was then joined by Laura Van Gilder (TEAm Lipton) and Jim Williams (Colavita / Cooking Light), who discussed parallel challenges faced by women in cycling.
