I would like to comment but I 'm out of the scene altogether. I know Helen's Cyclery have a women's squad. so does Paramount Racing down in Orange County and there is South Bay Wheelmen. Oh and Tailwind up in SB area. Maybe you can talk to some of th women there??

And Smilingcat, you don't appear to be out of the scene. All comers/comments welcome.

So here's a voice from the 54-year-old, non-racer type rider. I would LOVE to have a women's cycling organization here that offers how-to-ride-better clinics, training, women's rides. I would want to know how such an organization gets started and the history of its development---how it begins, how it's promoted and sustained over time. I am not even vaguely qualified to be the one who starts it, however, and don't honestly know how that would occur. But I would sure support it and be part of it. I have hesitated to post here because I am not sure that's useful enough info for you. Best I can do, though...and thanks for asking.

SalsaBike, thank you! That's perfect and you're totally qualified to comment. Heck! If someone told me 10 years ago that I would start a women's cycling organization I would've laughed (and then probably lit up another cigarette).
