Chicks that win contests...


Did you hear about Cyndi's new Giro gear?    Cyndi joined us this season and started riding with almost all hand-me-downs.  She bought Pat's Fuji hybrid, wore her son's old cracked helmet, her mother-in-law's 90's arm warmers and old men's cycling gloves.  She still managed to blow us away on the hills and the flats.

It was time for her to upgrade her gear especially after she started riding her newly acquired Carbon Trek Madone 4.5.   Not one to turn down shopping for bike accessories, Theresa almost had her talked into shopping for a new helmet, when Cyndi said she wait for an upcoming birthday.  Theresa saw a Facebook promotion for a Giro Women's Gear Makeover and quickly submitted a nomination.

You can read the nomination here: Giro Women's Gear Makeover
There were a lot of very deserving women and Cyndi claimed she never wins anything. After the initial excitement and dreaming (like what if we won the lotto....) she went back to fitting in her weekday and weekend rides among all her other busy day-to-day activities.

Amazingly Cyndi was one of the two women picked for the Giro Gear makeover and before she knew it she was looking through the online catalog and picking styles, colors and sizes for a new helmet, new shoes, socks and gloves.  She wasn't disappointed, when her new gear was shipped to her and she was excited to try them out for the next club ride.  She appreciated the small details on the craftsmanship of the soft "Monica" gloves and ratchet closing on her new "Factress" shoes.  After wearing her matte white and Silver "Aeon" helmet, she realizes she will never settle for men's gear again. 

Next time you see Cyndi ask her about her new gear and next time you are in your LBS, check out the Women's Giro gear.  (you can see some of their line at http://www.giro.com/us_en/products/women.html)
