Hey! You're in luck...I was one of the women involved in the only all women's, sponsored cycling team in Wisconsin -- Team Pedal Power. Maybe you saw our all pink jerseys? We formed our team three seasons ago and that first year, we had 40 women! Our average age was around 40...lots of women in their 30's and 40's, a few in their 20's and 50's. We ranged in experience from brand new, just bought their first road bike, to really experienced racers. Some raced, some just road. It was a great time! Unfortunately, due to some personality issues, we dissolved the team after last season. Many of the women who road w/ us have been gung ho about getting together another team/club, though few want to race. Tentatively, we're calling ourselves the "Lunachicks" and we've got a web site up and running. We've removed the one personality problem (we think there was only one!) and now we're all about riding. If you're interested, let me know. We're mostly all on the north shore or farther north of Milwaukee, but we ride all over and would love to have you. I can't emphasize enough how widely our experiences and goals range.

As for me, my short rides are 25-35 these days, with longer rides around 75-85. But, not everyone wants to go that far, so I find ways to ride w/ the group and then peel off. My first big event is the 26th, so I've got one last weekend to get a long ride in...so, I'll be going long on Saturday, but if you want to hook up for part of it, let me know.

Victoria.
