REGISTRATION IS UP

Venus de Miles 2009 is open for registration. You can register here for the 35, 50 and 65 mile rides at the early bird rate of $68.

Join us tomorrow, Thursday 1/22, for LUNAFest Boulder, which benefits the Breast Cancer Fund and Health Links Foundation. The show is at the Boulder Theater and starts at 7PM. Tickets are available at www.bouldertheater.com or the box office.

The first 400 entrants will receive a goody bag valued at over $25, and they're having an AMAZING raffle. Plus, you can have cocktails at George's next store before the show, and 5% of the proceeds go to the beneficiaries above.

You can also check us out at Women's Night Out at Wheat Ridge Cyclery. We'll be the table making killer margaritas and spreading the Venus word on Wednesday, February 18th from 6:30-9PM. This will be an awesome evening of giveaways, chocolate, wine and more at Wheat Ridge Cyclery, 7085 W. 38th Avenue, Wheat Ridge, CO 80033.

All this warm weather is getting me psyched for riding. The Venus de Miles Club is coming together nicely, and I'm hoping to be allowed to lead a few rides this spring. Which clearly means I need to buy a ridiculous costume.

New year, new opportunities

If your New Year's resolution was to get more involved, then you've got some great opportunities through Venus de Miles. We're looking for help putting together some of our most important parts of the ride, from sponsor outreach to AM setup. If you'd like to give back in 2009, we'd love to hear from you and get you involved. Please contact me and I'll help figure out the best way for you, your friends or your loved ones to help Venus de Miles in 2009.

There's also a project we're really excited about here, the Venus de Miles Club. It's an all-women's, beginner to moderate ride club launching this spring. Two of our most favorite women, Karli and Tanja from Full Cycle, are making this happen. Here's MY favorite part: they'll be offering a monthly Sadie Hawkins ride, where ladies can invite some boys then kick their butts. Let me know if you're interested and I'll send you all the info you need.
