If Regina mentioned this somewhere, I totally missed it. I recently picked up the June issue of Spokes magazine, a free cycling publication available at various LBS's, "Serving Cyclists in the Mid-Atlantic States." Imagine my surprise to be perusing an article titled "What is so special about women only rides?", focused on women's mtb'ing, and get to the following:


Regina commutes to work and regularly does weekend coed road rides. She recently went on a Ride Like a Girl mtb ride and commented that "It really boosted my confidence, which had been lacking after three years of chasing fast guys through terrain that was too hard for me. As I told one of the women on the ride: 'It's just what the doctor ordered' for me to feel good about my mountain bike again."

Deja vu, considering we had a similar conversation at lunch today, after the DC Tour ride ;) Have you gotten the latest Spokes, Regina?

Oh, she is famous.
And she was my Secret Sister once too!

She didn't even speak about this at lunch. I'll definitely have to pop by a shop on Tuesday to pick up a copy of Spokes.

Akkk! I can't get caught up on reading those! I probably have that issue laying around here somewhere. Did they take photos?

Well, gosh. My 15 minutes of fame. <<blush>> :o
Thanks for noticing!
Tam - as a regular reader of Spokes, I was wondering when you were going to catch that. It completely slipped my mind on Saturday.
Yup, I was fresh off my first post-Rosaryville Ride high with DivingBiker when I got the email looking for contributions for that article.
...and no pix, ZC - it was all done via email....
