SheFly - way to go!
And you too, BlueTree

We don't have the critical mass in this little country to have women's only bike clubs (other kiwi's, please enlighten me if I am mistaken) but it is heartening to hear that such clubs have such great success (and fun a long the way) in other parts of the world!

SheFly, I know how dedicated you are to it all!
And yeah, like you, I try to prompt/gently encourage women cyclists I know to try racing. Our club has a beginners grade for new members to find their way and the few women I have managed to convince to "have a go" have found (like me) that racing at club level is huge fun (mind you, we do have an awesome and supportive club...)

But CONGRATS... to both of you... such fabulous news!
