Hey Andrea! I'll share with you something most industry insiders will tell you -- bike racers don't sell bikes and bike racers don't buy bikes. Meaning that a shop employee or even a recreational rider will have a much broader reach and influence the purchase of a certain brand more readily than a racer will.

Another thought is that you're already part of a sponsored team. Interesting that Trek used to be the bike sponsor for Team Kenda but now Blue is. Blue is a competitor of Trek, so it would be difficult for you to remain on your team and also be sponsored by Trek in the Women Who Ride promotion.
