We're still here!
No worries, the PodiumGrrls are still riding, still racing, still having a grand old time riding bikes!
We finished off the road season with a Team Cup race. Coffee called us away from checking the results, so we ended up losing a spot (yes, we know better. Ah well.), but since the overall wasn't changing, it didn't make any difference. We took 2nd in the Team Cup for the second year in a row when all the numbers were finalized.
Nancy won 'Most Improved Rider-Female' for CRCA this year—how cool is that? This is the second year we've had a rider win (or share) this particular award and it's always flattering to realize other riders are aware of your hard work.
And I tried to focus on cyclocross with limited success but a lot of fun. The highlight was definitely Nationals in RI, although the Verge races in RI were an awfully close second if only for the pure fun of not travelling solo! Nationals was a great experience, the course was so much fun, and it was just evilly delicious to have that many girls out racing.
So now we're all in the middle of winter training (well, some of us are just starting!), looking forward to those wet, cold, spring races, and looking for more sponsors. Know anyone who wants to help support a women's team in NYC? Drop us a line! Money, product, free food....it's all useful!
