He must not have had a reasonable woman like El Hombre has.

Thanks for spreading the buzz Eden! Word of mouth is crucial both before and after the ride. One, to get people to come to a first-year event, and two, after a (hopefully) successful first year, word of mouth of how great it was, or even feedback on how it can be improved, will bring even more riders next year. And you're totally right about getting new riders to do these fun rides. We all have to start somewhere, and even though not everyone has that competitive drive it takes to race, these female-only rides give gal riders an arena to gauge their skills against others and go from there. Builds a great foundation for comraderie and moral support that you don't necessarily get from riding with the guys all the time. I'm SO for these kinds of rides.
