Sounds like Seattle to me
Shooting Star has a great point - how do you get teenage girls involved. Our junior women fields around here are pretty bad... same two or three girls in every race, though the junior boys have pretty good turn out.
When I was a teenager I don't think I knew anyone who rode like me.... (boys or girls for that matter) The people I went to high school with thought I was crazy and mostly just asked "what's the matter with your hands..." because of my glove tan lines.
It's interesting. I've never been one to be much bothered by co-ed events. Most of my friends have always been guys, so it just doesn't even come into my head to be concerned about it, though I did end up on a women only team. Cascade runs some great programs around here for non racers, but as far as I know they don't do anything that is not co-ed. There are however a great many women who are working in the club. I went and did some volunteering at one of their bike fixing parties recently (they have a fleet of bikes for teaching kids to ride) and the women out numbered the men in the room by at least 2 to 1.
