in search of western mass. women bike riders

[Momof5]

I've recently started training for a sprint triathalon in July. I'd love to hook up with other riders, swimmers in the western massachusetts area (westfield, noho) to train. Liz

Hi Liz and welcome to TE! I am close by in Blandford, but afraid I'm not much help when it comes to being a training partner. I bought Terry hybrid last summer and got bitten hard by the cycling bug. I had planned to get a road bike this summer, but just had to spend 3,000 on a dental implant to replace a front tooth, so the road bike is on hold for a while.

Have you tried contacting New Horizons bike shop in Westfield? They seem pretty involved in the local racing and club thing, and might be able to point you in the right direction.

There are a couple of other people on the list that live in Western MA. Why don't you post in the Northeast section?

Hi bambu101 and Robyn. thanks for your response. I have talked to New Horizons but I have to admit I was intimidated by the experience of the riders and the fact that most are men. Robyn, I'm new to this site and I'm not even sure how to get the names of the Northeast people. Liz

Liz,
When you go to the main TE forum page:
http://forums.teamestrogen.com/index.php
instead of posting under "general discussion", go down the page and look in the "Places to Ride" category. There you will find a forum specifically for the "Northeast" area.

Hi, thanks so much and I love your picture. It's awesome.
