Great article!
"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks

What a wonderful article! And if that isn't inspiration - none of the ladies resemble anywhere near their "real" age!

Great article. The writer, Heidi Swift, is also a cyclist (cyclocross and touring) and a very good writer. Click on her name to see other articles she has written -- one that impressed me months ago is her telling the story of a bike crash.

Great article. Oregon women ROCK! Okay...we all rock!
I'm from Oregon and Oregonlive.com is my local online place for news! If that doesn't inspire you nothing will!
I agree that beginners need good female mentors! (maybe we could call them "womentors")."Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls & looks like work" - Thomas Edison
