Even better, I happily participate in and jabber gleefully to anyone who will listen about one of the "fringe" segments of cycling where women make up a small part of the field, but our presence is growing. At Saturday's cyclocross race we had 8 gals in the C race out of maybe 50 or more riders. A couple of years ago 1-3 was more typical. I don't think we saw >5 until later in the season last year.
