Trek: "Women who ride"

**Geonz** · 03-22-2007, 06:51 AM

And to think I think derisively of "AMerican Idol,"

Am I "selling out" ??? (grin) not if it gets more people riding...

Wonder if they wanna hear from a woman who commutes?

**smilingcat** · 03-22-2007, 09:45 AM

They want all walks of life. Commuting included...

I'm a terrible writer so I'll pass. But those who can write should all do so. Wish you the best of luck.

And heck no, you not selling out.

Could you give more details? When I get to the site, it gets into an endless circle of picking my country and language, which is why I HATE the Trek site.

When I clicked the link it took me directly to the "Women who ride" page. Is your computer cutting off the end of the link?

Anyway, the upshot is you send in an essay (500 words) and 3 pictures of yourself explaining why you should represent Trek for Women. If you win you have to keep a daily log, test ride Trek bikes, email your adoring public, and be video'd for 3 days. You may also have to do some public speaking.

You need to have a broadband connection. I have DSL, so I guess I'm out.

Sounds kinda fun.

Welp, I sent mine in (even tho' I'm not even srue *what* my access is - but it is big and fast and wireless... it's not where I usually sleep at night, but it's where I eat and feed the cats and water the plants...
I tell the site USA and English (prob'ly would wherever I was)... and it's pretty prominently displayed.
Of course, I'd want to read the small print before I actually signed up for something. This is Big Business and I love my Trek and rully rully love my local Trek dealer ... a little flag goes up when I see that the "due date" of april 30 is exactly the same as the day you're supposed to be able to commit to. So... do they let you know on 4/30... and then you start that day?

DSL is broadband. Basically, they are saying "no dialup!"

**KnottedYet** · 03-27-2007, 08:45 AM

Hmmmm, maybe I'll do it after all....

**SouthernBelle** · 03-27-2007, 10:32 AM

Knotted, just curious. What did you think broadband was?

**kelownagirl** · 03-27-2007, 05:41 PM

DSL is broadband I'm pretty sure.

I checked out the link, input my country and language, got to the page, read the info, and then saw the "must be a US resident". Oh well...

Ditto on the US resident thing...

I'm a US resident, living on "US soil" but not in the US
