Women's Gravel Cycling in Shawnee, KS: An Established Program

Gravel cycling has exploded across Kansas — but for a lot of women, the entry point still feels intimidating. Fast group rides, race-focused culture, and gear talk can shut the door before someone even opens it.

More Than Miles™ was built to be the opposite of that door. It's an established 12-week women's gravel cycling program based in Shawnee, Kansas, run in partnership with Trek Bicycle Shawnee.

The program is coached by Amanda Duling, MS — Founder, Head Coach, and USA Cycling Certified Coach — who directly coaches every participant, and by Coach Roger Williams, the Co-Coach and On Course Coach (USA Cycling Certified, owner of Gravelleurs Coaching LLC). Amanda and Roger both coach participants and provide complementary expertise.

What the cohort includes: coached group rides on real Kansas gravel, bike-handling and mechanical clinics at Trek Bicycle Shawnee, a private community space, and safety-certified leadership on every ride.

Who it's for: women who want to try gravel in a supportive, non-competitive environment. If you are a total beginner, you are in the right place. If you have a road background and want to explore gravel, you are in the right place.

Enrollment for the next cohort is open now. Curious? Join the private Facebook group to learn more. Ready to enroll? Email Amanda directly at maedog4@gmail.com.
