Nicole, if you post their email addy, I'll send an email - how the heck can a woman on the other side of the world know about something but not their own members (yes, I realise it's due to this site and the fact I'm someone who likes to try & keep up with what's happening where with dirtbikes). We have probably about 100 female members here, about 6000 guys, and as we talk to the guys (I guess we do?) they'd mention it to anyone who they'd think might be interested in going/competing. Unfortunately the standard isn't there yet for more women to enter (don't flame me, I know there are probably other women out there who just can't afford to go or have other reasons, but we have to accept the fact that women are still the minority in dirtbiking and will be for years to come).
I'm sorry that their excuse doesn't wash with me, just because there were only 3 LOI's doesn't mean that only 3 women knew about it - that's just BS. Don't let them get away with it, we'll help anyway we can. Seeing you three out there this year may well encourage others to attempt it next year onwards (and start training now).
Also, don't forget to let us know about the t-shirts when you find out the details. Good luck, and thanks for keeping us informed, just wish we could do more to help.
