Join Velorosa in Empowering Women through Cycling!
Who We Are
Velorosa was founded in 2007 and has been a part of the Des Moines and Iowa cycling community for 17 years. Led by a core board of 5 team members, we promote women in cycling and engage in community outreach activities aligned with our mission and vision.
Velorosa's Mission & How You Can Help
Velorosa is a women-only cycling team founded to encourage, nurture, teach, and challenge women to embrace cycling and community engagement. Your sponsorship fuels our mission.
What We Do
Our team members ride socially, for fun and fitness as well as taking it to the next level with various forms of racing. We are also volunteers at local races, support running events, participate in trail maintenance, support Urban Bicycle Food Ministries, organize an annual Sip & Swap to raise funds for the Ragbrai Dream Team, and partner with organizations like Hope for Justice and Break the Cycle to use our voices and bikes to fight human trafficking. Here are a few highlights of the philanthropic efforts made by our team members in 2023 we're especially proud of;
400 hours of "women-powered" volunteer hours at various events and supporting many charitable organizations.
