Mine had the women's section
The only I recoginized were KelwonaGirl and ChickWhoRips.
Your'e not missing much, IMO.
A couple of articles about training (womens only MTB skills, and doing road group rides with guys.
Each real woman had her pic and a one paragraph blurb about her skills/goals. Then 3/4 of the page was devoted to the staff recommendations for her (bike, clothing). They had a model stand in (maybe to cut cost?)
I'm surprized not every one got it. Maybe they decided that "Bubba Joe Smith" didn't want to read about wimmen's stuff
P.s. mine had a gold "women's section" sticker on the front.

Heather - You are there!
It's all about the journey (my reason for riding slower)

It's a 24 page section after page 48. The makeover profiles start on page 12. Got mine in the mail yesterday.

I was going to subscribe to Bicycling, but now I'm having second thoughts...only certain issues have a women's section? What are we, chopped liver? Those poor men, having to flip past a few pages devoted to women...well, I'm not really interested in reading about guys...so I think I'll keep my money in my pocket!

It's a section within the magazine. I didn't see it in the table of contents and I had no sticker but it showed up at page 48/49 and says "special section".
I saw Heather
