Look at the women's race results for the last two weekends.
There, you'll see the name Casey Gale. She's 20 and been riding for about 9 months. She 5'5" and 125lbs. She races a $450, used Trek 1000 that doesn't really fit her quite right. She didn't finish worse than 4th in any of the open women's races.
A few weeks ago, we were running down into one of the little towns around here, lined out at 30+ (no exaggeration). @ 250, I jumped hard in the 12 and rolled it up to just over 40 and easily won the town limit sprint. 1500 watts...
I sit up and look around and Casey is about 8 lengths behind me...the rest of the 'racers' are 20 lengths back. Casey rolls up beside me and says..."That was cool! I've never gone that fast before!" She was just happy to be there. The very next ride, on a long climb, she swung out to go in the middle of the climb and those same 'racers' were scrambling for her wheel!
A lot of male egos are gonna get badly bruised by that little girl, and rightly so.
