The Second Annual Hill Climbers Summit is at the Rivian showroom on South Congress on Friday, Nov 13. We're partnering up with endurance media hub Front Pack Sports to extend the event reach AND break some pro peloton news. You read correctly… we’ll be making women’s cycling history to kick off the event.
The Future is Female panel covers the state of women's cycling in the US from the team, brand and pro perspective. Three esteemed guests are flying in to share their expert insights:
THE TEAM: Human Powered Health - Charles Aaron, Managing Director
THE BRAND: Skratch Labs - Mellisa Allen, VP Marketing
THE PRO: Top 10 TDF Femmes Finisher - Veronica Ewers
Run of Show:
Friday, 730am: Morning Ride with Factor and the Meteor
Friday, 4 - 730pm: Panel, happy hour and dinner catered by the Meteor
Saturday: Tour Das Hugel

This is a VERY special show because it gives an up close, behind the scenes look at why our community is special. We’ve sat front row while repeat guest Scott Baldwin built a formidable media company out of Front Pack Sports, and Scott is a friend, confidant and now an official collaborator on the Summit.
A few things worth tuning in for:
Killing the app, keeping the idea... Scott paid five figures a year to keep the Front Pack app alive, then shut it down this June. A few months later Nike cold-emailed him with an invite to Moab. 3:40
3K to 50K subscribers... how Front Pack grew its newsletter with zero growth hacks. 17:41
What I got wrong about sponsors... brands lock budgets a year out. I gave myself 6 months, and it really takes 12. 26:04
Why we do it... Scott and I get honest about how hard and lonely building on a shoestring is, plus his two rules for staying sane. 33:03
See you on the 13th.
