[QUOTE="Michelle, post: 718079, member: 16598"] Well, I've been totally selfish. I went riding last Sunday with a friend, her son & daughter but I didn't ride with the other two women who were along. In the morning I'd been cutting trails with the guys - the other two women are real beginners and were happy sunning themselves (the rest of us were trying to find somewhere to cool off, not get hotter). On Friday my friend & I are taking the kids out riding again, then on Saturday another friend & I are entering a two-man harescramble. I'm still thinking of ways to get more women to not just ride with their kids & let the guys have a turn (talking real little kids here). With events we organise, us girls get stuck on sign-on & if we do get a chance to ride, it's a split-decision to go. We try to get each other to go out for a decent ride, but both of us then feel guilty about the other sitting back there. Speedy, how about putting Eric Gorr's book in there? For myself, I found it totally useful & gave me more confidence to look at stuff & learnt heaps. I don't do much mechanicking anymore, but as Henk & I share the KDX & the TTR doesn't need much doing to it, I don't consider that anything to feel guilty about either (okay, so I do, but I'm happy if I know what's wrong with the bike, even if I wouldn't have a clue how to fix it). I'd be happy to pay, if you could sort out with Eric where to send it? As for getting other women interested, taking time out to talk to them, to ride with them, to laugh with them & listen to their stories when they're learning, seems to go over big. I do remember not knowing any other female & how absolutely stoked I was to finally meet someone else who rode. It's just hard now as I've got riding buddies at all sorts of levels & am still looking for someone who'll push me along, too (most are learners, but of differing ability/drive). The one I'm racing with Saturday is only a bit slower than me & we've got her son to thank for organising us even riding together (I'd always thought she wouldn't ride without her husband along, little did I know ;)) [/QUOTE]
