Hello Ladies!
I'm assuming many of you are as busy, busy as a bee with spring activities, end of the school year events, running here and there, questioning yourself if you shut the garage door, have both pairs of soccer shoes in car, along with the water and snack for the kids. I recommend you don't forget the fleece jacket, because it's been freezing at the fields.
It's time to convince our husbands we need to ride on Wednesday nights. Tell him it's a very, very important weekly meeting you must attend. Let's recruit neighbors, or even hire a babysitter to help us shuttle our kids from activity to activity. Our health depends on it. Ha!
Spring is arriving slowly and we will see sunny, warm weather for great riding - with great women.

Women's Ride and Clinic Schedule
CONNECTING & NETWORKING WOMEN TRAINING PARTNERS
Hello Ladies,
I love meeting my training partners for early morning runs and bike rides, many times being home before the boys and Mark are even out of bed. It is great to find women who share the same love of exercise as you do and to do it together.
To be a good training partner the key is, never cancel, always show up, unless of course you are so sick your husband has to take care of the kids and you stay in bed. Has that ever happen? Being tired or going to bed too late is no excuse. Ha!
I like simplicity so I have started this blog site to communicate to you often and help you connect with women who may just live in your neighborhood. Hopefully you can enjoy the camaraderie and the motivation of other women for an early, mid-day, or weekend work out – whatever works in your busy schedule.

WOMEN ROAD BIKE TRAINING RIDES
We are offering two women road bike rides starting from In Competition Sports @ 5:30pmMonday Night Women Only “No-drop” Road Ride
This means no one will be left to ride alone and the pace will be kept comfortable. The goal is to build cycling skills among women in a fun, social, non-threatening environment.
Ride leader is Melissa Dupke. If you have any questions, you can send an email to her at: DUPKEM@denmark.k12.wi.us.
Note; She is looking for other women who would like to share leading duties when she can’t make it. Let’s start a sub list to make the ride a success.
Wednesday Night Women Only “Faster Pace” Road Bike Ride
Many women are training for triathlons or like to ride a swifter pace. The pace will be kept to
18-22 mph. We will attempt to bring women back into the pack if they are just off the back. Remember the strong riders in the front will keep motoring along so it’s essential to make every effort to not leave gaps in the draft and we really can stay together. Maps will be provided though.
Our Ride Leaders are: Melissa Dupke, Jacque Jadin, Jenny Metzger, Becky Heim or Deb Ernst.
Note again: We are looking for women who would like to help and be a ride leader to create a good sub list. Our ride will be a success if we can have women step in and help at the back of the pack to bridge gaps and teach riding skills. Please let us know if you are interested.
Our Weather Policy:
In my twenty years of riding, my rule of thumb is I will start riding if it’s not raining. If it looks threatening with a few isolated storms brewing, I will still go. We all know the chances are if you don’t ride, it won’t rain. I’ll usually take the chance and try to ride around the storms.
Now, I will not ride if it is raining. No questions.
You can call the store and we’ll probably say “yes” we are going. Someone always shows up, so just come on over and ride with who is here. We all know storms blow over fast and the next minute it can be warm and sunny.
