Have you ever just wanted to go ride with other women and not worry about all the expectations and ability levels? We have! That’s why we started this club. It is NOT all about racing; it’s about riding.

In discussing membership renewal we were struck by the announcement by Radiohead of their “pay what you think” approach to selling their current album. We constantly worry that we’re not providing the value each member may attribute to our membership dues. So, we’ve decided for 2008, we’ll implement the “Radiohead approach” for both memberships and clinics

We also like to look at ourselves as a community/member supported organization, much like NPR.

Similiar? Yes. Different? Yes. But you get the picture.

In case you’re wondering what we DID do as a club and race team, you can check out our 2007 random statistics page. I know we were “race-heavy” but, ’tis to be expected as the two (now three) coordinators are RACERS.

As you consider our value, here’s another reference for you to read on charitable giving.

You know we’re not out here for hand-outs! We expect the club to earn your respect, time and dollars. Now that our first year is under our belt, we hope to only improve on what we’ve started. We’ve learned a TON! And the one thing we are consistently reminded of is that this community is a group effort and we need a lot of help to keep it rolling.

More than a handful of our club members have become part of what we identify as a core group. Thank you! Your commitment, consistency and enthusiasm is a constant source of inspiration. As we embark on 2008, we’ll be putting our ears to the track and listening for suggestions. We’re taking small steps, but I know we’ve got a ways to go.
