GoGo Girl Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 If you were given a magic wand, what would you wish for as a lady cyclist who belongs to a cycling club? What could your club do to improve your cycling experience? What club events would motivate you to take your cycling to the next level? How could you be motivated to join a women's league?
cat-i Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 dont want to ride league, want to play. on singletrack. aaaha the club could organise a skills weekend. maybe in 'boven with someone who can ride with and show me how to corner faster, or suggest that i try a different position, and just generally for meeting like-minded people to ride with and learn from. like this one: http://www.runlikeagirl.co.za/mtb.php
Tumbleweed Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 cat-i, you saying i don't corner fast enough for you?
NotSoBigBen Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 HR I guess she's saying in a round about way that you ride like a girl ......
Sammajoor Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 HR I guess she's saying in a round about way that you ride like a girl ...... Is this on a bike or with a car....................... I know of women who have driven into things whilst putting on make up
Skye Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 HR I guess she's saying in a round about way that you ride like a girl ...... Is this on a bike or with a car....................... I know of women who have driven into things whilst putting on make up I drove into the back of my hubbies car on the way to work one morning However I will admit it wasn't my fault he stopped at a stop street not me. Damage on his car R20k Damage on my car R35K.
Sammajoor Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Happened to my folks too, my father decided to jump a circle and my mother decided she would jump it with him...................... only for him to decide to stop and my mother went barreling into the back of him.. A " witness" jumped out of his car screaming " I saw that bitch drive into the back of you" only to get ceremoniously bliksemed in the chop. Total cost.............. 15K for moms car 27K for dads car and 5K for witnesses doctor fees
Candz Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 It would be quite cool if a riding club could organise a "companion" for all first time racers... I had a friend that rode with me my first race and I think if it wasnt for him helping and advising I would have been terrified!

Mrs Pickled Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 DECENT WSD kit, how about regular updates on women-specific developments in the sport- equipment, clothing, nutrition etc. Coz I'm a beginner, I feel intimidate to ride in a big group, so how about offering smaller (or one-on-one like a personal trainer) sessions for ladies? Someone to show you the ropes and not laugh at you coz you dont have TONS of technical knowledge. my 2c

See a couple of clubs on our routes, and the ladies are scarce...
