Open to women in the USA who are afraid of road bikes or who don't think they'll ever find a friendly road bike.
The bike is gorgeous. And you can submit your ride report even if you don't want to compete for the bike.

It's too tall for me, might be about your size :D

Exactly my size, but I am not afraid of road bikes and I already have 3 perfect bikes.

Read her description of the bike, she really thought it through on how to make it perfect for a woman who has only ridden hybrids or upright bikes before. Sheldon Brown's (RIP) old shop did a lot of the work and donated parts, and Velo Orange donated parts as well.

What a great idea. Too bad I am not afraid of bikes. :cool:

I'm quite apprehensive about road bikes...I'm unsure I'd be able to write anything note-worthy...I'll have to do some thinking.

eta: I wrote about the crazy and painful ride I took my DH on in Vancouver...it was fun to write, actually. Reminds me of the English class I took when I was first in college a couple of years ago. :)
