In its second year, Thee Abundance Mini Grant Program p/b Zwift will provide entries, housing, transportation, a food stipend, and several additional resources for awardees for 4 major road races - Tulsa Tough, Tour of America’s Dairyland, Intelligentsia Cup, and Gateway Cup. McGowan is also announcing Team Abundance, a Cat 3/4 composite team, born out of the 2021 awardees. Last year, the program received over 160 applications and supported 8 adults and one junior with all of the above for The Tour of America’s Dairyland.

Thee Abundance Micro Grant Program p/b SRAM will provide entry fee and a day license for one local race, with the goal of accommodating 400 total race days for the year. Though not formally titled, the micro grant program was able to provide race day fees and licenses to several of those who applied to the mini grant program in 2021.

“I know from experience how valuable it is to race in more competitive fields as a category 3 and 4 women. There’s nothing quite like the speed and intensity of summertime midwestern crits. The participants from last year want to keep going, and I’m happy to create this pipeline to getting more Black and Brown women to the Pro field!” 

Thee Abundance Project, A Quick Brown Fox’s core programming, includes Thee Abundance Zwift Training Series, Thee Abundance Summit, and The Abundance Mini and Micro Grant Programs. Registration for the summit is now open, and the training series begins March 21 and culminates in a 90 minute Zwift Race announced by McGowan herself and Shequaya Bailey, a member of The Black Foxes.
