YEP! We've been watching the coverage of the Tour De California on TV--only when you go to the website do you realize the women are there also! I've been lucky enough to see women race at my local Tour de Winghaven and I was inspired (the King of the Hill winner was a new mom, just back to racing without a sponsor). That's what it's all about--encouraging the next generation of women. My husband frequently points out the little girls that watch me go by on my bike in awe--like they'd never thought of that! (A neighborhood girl was struggling on her training wheels with her Dad in tow. When I rolled up, she got the biggest grin on her face and pedaled her heart out to ride next to me. Still brings tears to my eyes............)
