Why do women treat each other this way? I hate that you had that experience. I've only been on one organized ride myself and I know how out of place I felt and that would have really hurt my feelings. I am especially glad that this forum exists for women to share that kind of experience and then receive the support they DESERVE from other women. My bike is sea foam green with flowers painted on the top bar and I love it!! I hope you do the century next year. I hope I can ever do one.
