The Oregon women's peloton has grown to be a driving force in women's cycling. Jade Wilcoxson, once a team member of Southern Oregon's Flywheel Bicycle Solutions, now races for Optum pb Kelly Benefit Strategies with whom she won the 2013 Pro National Road Race Championship. Oregon racers such as Brianna Walle (Ironclad 2009-2012, Optum pb Kelly Benefit Strategies 2013-2014) and Anna Grace Christiansen (Ironclad 2005-2013) also raced their way into the pro spotlight.
