Seattle Team LUNA Chix
Hello All,
I'd like to make you aware of a new team in the Seattle area. Recently, LUNA® Bar selected our application and we are now 1 of 17 teams for their national Team LUNA Chix program. Of these 17 teams, some are mtb related, the others triathlon. The Team LUNA Chix program seeks to invite, inspire and encourage women to get outside and play, (in our case "get outside and ride!"), while raising money and awareness for the Breast Cancer Fund This team has come together because of a love of the trails, our bikes, and our pure enjoyment of this sport. We have joined with LUNA Bar as we share their commitment to social service and women in sports. This partnership allows us to represent LUNA at various races and events in the Pacific Northwest. We are committed to holding 3-5 rides for women each month and for hosting 3-5 clinics for women between May and October. We feel that this new support from LUNA will allow us to expand out and more aggressively advertise and market this opportunity for women to get out and ride. The expansion of the Team LUNA Chix program is new, and we were just notified at the beginning of May that we had been selected as the Seattle Mountain Bike chapter of Team LUNA Chix. We are in the process of building a website, and I will follow up shortly with more information on that. This website will be used to advertise upcoming events and will include information that we hope will help and encourage women to participate in the sport. The site should be up in another month or so. With the club’s buy-in, we are excited to be able to continue to hold women's rides through the Backcountry Bike and Trail club. http://www.bbtc.org We all love this club and actually met because of club rides. We hope to continue to bring more women into biking and hope to garner more interest through calendars and flyers in the local bike shops, local events, etc. We will be posting June's rides shortly to the www.bbtc.org site. We hope that if you know someone that is new to mountain biking or that you are just trying to encourage to ride, please send her our way. We would be happy to work to build skills or simply a network of new women to ride with. Thanks for your support, enthusiasm and interest, we are pretty excited to get going on this! If you have any questions or want to get on the distribution list please send an email to sclementson@hotmail.com, or you can also go to http://www.groups.yahoo.com and request membership to seattleteamlunamtb. We hope to have our website up in the next month and we’ll let you know when/where it is. See you on the trails! Susan |
