Why isn't there a completely different race for Women? It would get enough women to compete, don't you think? Besides the dirty ol' men could sit with beers and their remote controls and watch the girls ride if they did not come in person.
Why is it that men can get upset at Women's only clubs and wittle their way into them using the excuse that they are being excluded due to the sex of the club?

Perhaps a Women's Cycling magazine is what we need? Anyone interested in beginning one? One that also focuses on off season/on season exercises, tips, diagrams of proper form, etc., Nutritional info, with a chosen recipe for the month. I don't know how to get one started. I just have lots of ideas on the lay out. Advertisements do help fund, but would not want half mag. to be advertisement, but a focus on Women's Cycling would be nice.
Ya, probably dreaming, but many things we have today are from dreams that seemed less then likely to become what they are today. Flight for example, from Wright Bros. to NASA in such a short time. Women's Voting rights. Don't stop dreaming ladies, we will see Women's Pro Cycling if we have determination and persistance, dedication and vision to see it.
