Cut from the BBTC list. Thought the ladies here would be interested:
Hello All,
I'd like to make you aware of a new team in the Seattle area.
Recently, LUNA® Bar selected our application and we are now 1 of 17
teams for their national Team LUNA Chix program. Of these 17 teams,
some are mtb related, the others triathlon. The Team LUNA Chix
program seeks to invite, inspire and encourage women to get outside
and play, (in our case "get outside and ride!"), while raising money
and awareness for the Breast Cancer Fund
I'd like to introduce the team. They are all BBTC gals so you may
already know most of them.

This team has come together because of a love of the trails, our
bikes, and our pure enjoyment of this sport. We have joined with
LUNA Bar as we share their commitment to social service and women in
sports. This partnership allows us to represent LUNA at various
races and events in the Pacific Northwest. We are committed to
holding 3-5 rides for women each month and for hosting 3-5 clinics
for women between May and October. . We feel that this new support
from LUNA will allow us to expand out and more aggressively
advertise and market this opportunity for women to get out and ride.
The expansion of the Team LUNA Chix program is new, and we were just
notified at the beginning of May that we had been selected as the
Seattle Mountain Bike chapter of Team LUNA Chix. We are in the
process of building a website, and I will follow up shortly with
more information on that. This website will be used to advertise
upcoming events and will include information that we hope will help
and encourage women to participate in the sport. The site should be
up in another month or so.
With Justin's buy-in, we are excited to be able to continue to hold
women's rides through the BBTC. We all love this club and actually
met because of club rides. We hope to continue to bring more women
into biking and help expand BBTC as new riders seek more riding
opportunities, etc. We also hope to garner more interest through
calendars and flyers in the local bike shops, local events, etc.
We will be posting June's rides shortly and hope that if you know
someone that is new to mountain biking or that you are just trying
to encourage to ride, please send her our way. We would be happy to
work to build skills or simply a network of new women to ride with.
Thanks for your support, enthusiasm and interest, we are pretty
excited to get going on this!
See you on the trails!
