Why is it almost March
This month has flown by and things are in full swing here at Venus de Miles. The team was at Women's Night Out at Wheat Ridge Cyclery last week, reaching out to riders and making some tasty margs. I got a lot of requests for the recipe, so here it is, courtesy of Jessica Hogan, our marketing guru:
4 cans Tecate
1 can limeade
Refill empty limeade can to the brim with tequila
Stir in some ice and enjoy.
Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
Quick plug: I am looking for a parking coordinator and a volunteer coordinator for the ride this year. If your girlfriend, boyfriend or best friend isn't riding, send them my way and I'll get them working.
Our Venus de Miles Club-Boulder is up and running, and you can sign up here. Come ride with us all summer.
Finally, we're offering a free spinning class at Rally Sport in Boulder this Friday. Drop me a line if you're interested in signing up.

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.

Kicking it off
We've finally got the blog up and running, and soon you'll be able to register for Venus de Miles 2009. The team has been cranking away, trying to secure some great sponsors and come up with new and innovative ideas for the whole day. So far, LUNA Sport, Zeal Optics and Skirt Sports are all back on board. And we've set a date- August 30th, 2009.
I got my new road bike fit and tuned up, just in time for the first snow. Therefore, I am going to slap some VDM stickers on my skis and hit the slopes for a few months. In case you have the riding itch, though, Mo Robbins, VDM 08 logistics coordinator/all-around hero/token guy/husband extraordinaire is leading a few spin classes in the coming months at Rally Sport. I'll make sure to post dates, times and info as soon as I know them.
If you're looking to get involved as a sponsor, to volunteer to help out in the next few months, have a great idea for Venus or would like to work on your own Venus project, drop me a line: lauren@venusdemiles.com.
So here's to my first blog post, the beginning of the all the planning sessions, some good winter training and the holiday season.
