Are you a masters racer? Have you been the ONLY woman in a local race? Have you been 10 years older than any other woman on a sports team? Do you check your lipstick before the start? Yes? This is for you! Masters are tough ladies for whom sports aren’t a fad. Being competitive and active aren’t things left behind at college graduation. Career, family, life - don’t impede your dedication. You’re willing to cross barriers.

My team shop is coming through with a helmet! For 35 years, The Bicycle Trip has been promoting cycling in the Santa Cruz, CA area: from safety classes in schools to a winning race team. Thanks Bicycle Trip!

from the heart

Thanks to my buddy Eddy Price for his cash donation! This means Miss Mary and I won't be too much in the hole after this. Ed puts in a ton of unpaid hours for cycling in multiple ways including acting as manager for my team, Team Bicycle Trip. Thanks Ed!

looking spiffy while killing your competition


Multiple Masters Worlds silver medalist Katrina Baumsteiger is not only wicked fast but looks hot on the podium in her Verge Sport gear. You can too...if you win the raffle. Thanks Verge Sport for supporting women athletes!

be a fast girl


Blue is all about supporting women cyclists: from designing us the right ride to sponsoring racers. Their cross racers this year include: Laura Van Gilder, Emily Van Meter and Wendy Williams. In 2009, Laura made the U.S. team to race at Worlds!

For the raffle, Blue is giving us a travel bag AND... hold on to your panties girls...a carbon frame! The Norcross Carbon CX was designed for Jonathan Page. Now it can be yours.

by and for girls


Their story: two girls become friends in the pool. They can't find athletic hair and skin products that suit women and their unique needs. They decide to make their own. We all live happily after. Win some. Free samples to the first 100 guests in the door!

A fan of women's racing has purchased this with his own money! He wishes to remain anonymous. Apparently modesty is alive and well. A pretty pink and engraved iPod! Thank you mystery donor!
