wabisabi... great idea to support/encourage young girls in this.
At a recent school triathalon for 10-16 year olds, the majority of kids there were girls - possibly more than 3/4...
It was great to see... but you could see these girls looking at boys like my two eldest (aged 15 and 16) who are very strong and fast, on flash bikes, and these girls just looked a little demoralised.
Yet many of them had tremendous potential... absolutely... perhaps this should be a belated "New Year Resolution" for all of us... to encourage/support a young female rider in whatever type of cycling she is interested in - even if it is just to talk to her and ask her "hows it going?".

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".
