    Trek Women Who Ride

    There aren't many days left to sign up for this but it would be awesome if one of you lovely gals got to do this. Trek does a thing where they give you a bike, clothes, support from a local shop, etc. in exchange for you blogging about your riding and experiences on their website. I can't do it because there are several huge conflicts with work and all, but Pardes? Pardes? Where are you my dear? They would be blessed to have you, especially because last years gals were mostly young whipper snappers. Oh and your ride reports are such a absolute joy to read.

    In one place it says deadline is the 24th, in another it says the 25th so I would hedge my bets on the 24th. Good luck!

    "Why do I ride?" How to encompass that in 500 words or less??

    Kfergos- Coming from a background in writing it was very hard. My first attempt was 670 words. I did a lot of editing and still tried to keep the meaning I wanted.

    I entered. I probably won't get chosen, but I tried anyway. I hope one of us TE women are chosen. How cool would that be?

    I entered with a very short essay. Does it mean that you have to ride a Trek bike if you are chosen? I wouldn't say no to another bike, but I can't imagine wanting to ride one more than my Luna or Friday...

    Thanks for the info. on this. I entered too. My essay, if you stretch it a bit in definition, was brief. Hmmm, blog material, maybe not. Oh well... Good luck to all!

    I think they got 10,000 last year. I hope it is one of us but I wouldn't hold my breath.

    Those are pretty long odds.
