Women in racing
My girlfriend is doing a paper on men and women in sports, and asked me if I could think of some women in cycling. Since I do not really follow cycling sports, I thought to ask all you fans out there. Any help with articles maybe some ladies who race could chat with her?Thanks.

Check on nsmb.com, there is a new article on there. There is also a group called the dirty girls and a recent new dh group of 3 local chicks. We also have a large and popular female only dh training. Check on https://ww1.whistlerblackcomb.com/bike/camps/
I would also check in the forums at www.ridemonkey.com there are a number of women there who race dh. I believe the subforum is called mudhunnies. Lots of semi and exper level racers if I remember correctly.

Check out Speedy Beaver Racing - - group of PNW downhill gals based out of the Puget Sound Basin. Also, I highly recommend to anyone to read Marla Streb's book, Downhill: Life Story of a Gravity Goddess. A lot of really good insight into females racing at the elite level.
