Wow. I too, was shocked at some of the posts on bj. It makes me sad just to read them. (As well as pi$$ed!) I don't see many female bikers in my neck of the woods, I don't see many female runners either, for that matter. I wish I did. So when I see an all female event, I am all for it. As for an all male event, meh, go ahead. But in that respect. I also agree with SadieKate, in that there are so many male-only oportunities, it isn't even funny.
