Team Revolution

Girls. Ladies. Moms. I’m putting together “something” for our new website and/or 2009 promotion and identity. I’m looking for a comprehensive collection of bike- and portrait-related photography. Taken BY OUR MEMBERS (no cruising Flickr for other people’s photos).

Send me (digital) pictures of you…on your first bike–at age 3, 23, or 53; your hardest ride; you or someone recovering from a ride, climb, or fall; you get the picture (no pun intended). I’m looking for photographic documentation on what it means for YOU to ride. What do you see, feel, remember, revere? It doesn’t even have to have a woman OR a bike in the photo, but something that directly relates to riding (i.e. roads, hills, vistas, and so on). And if the photo includes people–while I’m not saying no boys aloud–women and girls should part of the main focus.

I’m trying to be vague, to get a wide variety to chose from, I may or may not use any or all of it. But I’ve got a little brainstorm going on in my head and I don’t have much non-racing bike photo documentation

This “thing” is about YOU, for you…now give me what you’ve got. Send photos to chris (at) stlrevolution (dot) com. I prefer Flickr or other photo sites, but can also receive direct attachments (please, none over 10MB at a time).

Team Revolution believes everyone has a story and we want to hear it.  We also believe that there are companies out there that have the same passions about cycling as we do when it comes to giving women a chance.

Trek is looking for women of all ages (21 and up) and all types of riders — from first-time riders to first-time racers, commuters to cause-related riders, riders who want to lose weight to those who want to train for an Ironman. All that matters is that you’re eager to ride. And eager to share your experiences.

Check it out!  Way Cool!!

You Could Be Chosen To Represent Trek

July 19-25th marked one of the most sought after rides of the Midwest. In it’s 36th year, RAGBRAI is the longest, largest and oldest touring bicycle ride in the world. Started in 1973, this is no race, but a ride across Iowa, averaging 472 miles, all of which are not flat. There are 8,500 week long rider spots and 1,500 one day rider spots. There is a lottery for those wanting to gamble. In 2007, there were 800 over the limit, so riders were turned away after the lottery spots were filled. Interested? Learn more about it!

Wonder who, wonder what, see it for yourself

Our very own can attest to the wonderful world of RAGBRAI!!! Read the recap.

No matter the brand bike you ride, or the ability…take the time and check this out!!

Wednesday night is our flagship “NO DROP” ride where we will go at the pace of the slowest rider; we expect to consistently pedal without “taking breaks” but want to ensure every rider finishes with another rider or coordinator.

Generally, it falls into two distinct riding groups. We’ll always make sure no one is left behind, but we’ve been told by many first-timers that the hills are quite challenging and we recommend some fitness before committing to this ride.

Rolls out at 6pm from Straubb’s Parking Lot in Webster Groves, Missouri
