hello ladies,
i know we're out there: women who love big bikes and have a thing for armor.
there are relatively few of us, and sometimes it's difficult to meet up or even say hello. i have had the absolute pleasure of meeting Kat. K. and Heather B. and i know there are other super groovy ladies out there. so i would like to take the opportunity to say "hi" and tell you a little about myself: my name's Donna, i'm 46 years old, married 21 years, a retailer for 23 year, been riding XC and road for 10 years, and became utterly obsessed with DH last year. i ride a white Santa Cruz VP-Free, and own 6 other bikes: 2 road, 2 mtb, 1 crosser, 1 park, and a unicycle.
and i just love Diablo, even though it is a 2.5 hour ride each way.
well, i hope this wasn't too long. i was just wondering if maybe there was something any of you did for the first time at Diablo that really stoked you - i was psyched for days after doing the Flume and Phantom drops, but does anyone have some advice for that darn Dom's Denial?
but anything - maybe finding your line in a rock garden, or riding a wall or about the wheelset you bought - it's cool to hear from other ladies.
peace!
Sweet Baby D

I love riding with girls though and working with each other to try new things. So if you want to fool around on the trails let me know, its all about having fun and a good rush! Even if your not doing the big stuff but want some help with getting started let me know, not every run can be a crazy aggressive one, at least not for me since I tend to do about 15-20 runs a day if I can!
