This new initiative offers an exciting opportunity to champion female participation and excellence in the sport of cycling. MiHaven is the team’s principal and naming rights sponsor, with Kuranda Pet Resort and Trinity Cycle Works also on board as co-sponsors.
"At MiHaven, we’re deeply committed to building stronger communities, and that extends beyond housing to initiatives. This team embodies the values of empowerment, perseverance, and inclusion, which are core to everything we do. We’re thrilled to support these incredible women as they break barriers in cycling and inspire others to take on new challenges.", says MiHaven co-owner and director Mr. James Mort. “By supporting this team, we’re investing in a vision where women in our community feel encouraged to chase their goals and redefine what’s possible in cycling and beyond. It’s an honour to be part of this journey".

The team’s foundation is as diverse as it is dynamic, currently comprising women aged 30 to 50, including nurses, certified fitness instructors, marketing professionals, and an engineer, with the aim to expand their team and scope from U17 riders through to senior riders still wishing to compete. The team has already marked an impressive milestone with their first outing, by competing in the prestigious Tour of Margaret River in Western Australia earlier this month, a three-day team racing event, where they placed 6th out of 11 teams—a remarkable achievement for their debut year as a newly formed team.

The riders have picked out 18 different events for different riders to participate in, including a Townsville Stage Race, the Balmoral Women’s Tour, title sponsor’s MiHaven Tablelands Tour and track cycling events.
