just want to add about your local bike shops.
Some are still in the stone age and others are enlightened. One shop I know reeked of testosterone and don't want you in there unless A. you are a macho kind of cyclists or B. pin-up girl...
Another shop where I used to go often treated me fairly. Even rode with their boys on their training... Pretty cool. Let me hang out in the shop area...

Yeah, if you are lucky to live in an area where women's cyclists are supported, please go to the shops that are supporting them. One of the shops in town is definitely more about male racers than the other and doesn't really have much support for ladies. The other shop is pretty awesome. Neither has a great selection of women's gear, though. Here in Ottawa now, gosh! I have so many possibilities. I can go to a large number of shops and actually SHOP. I wish this was the case everywhere.
