The three days of races are open to riders of all genders and cycling abilities. After introducing a women’s initiative last year, Toronto Hustle has committed to growing the women’s cycling community in 2020. In the new year, the team will also continue to be involved in cycling and safe streets advocacy by actively engaging with cycling advocacy campaigns. Hustle’s community engagement is unsurprising, considering team principal Brad Bradford is a Toronto city counselor.

Toronto residents who want are interested in watching a Zwift race live can stop by La Bicicletta at 1180 Castlefield Ave. on Saturday Dec. 28. The team will be providing snacks and coffee, plus a chance to heckle some of the racers as they compete virtually on Zwift.
