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.

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."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

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

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.
