I am passing this photo
along to you from last night's ride. Six of us ventured up the Hillside
trails and made it to the top. (Where was everyone else?) It turned
out to be a nice evening for biking and also nice seeing Jo-Ann back to biking
form.

too busy (or injured) to blog
An observant Diva who's out of town and yearning for biking in Alaska was visiting the blog and noticed that we're a little behind. Way behind! The usual contributors to the blog - now known as the Shoulder Sisters - haven't been riding, so we don't have photos to post unless an able-armed Diva sends them to us.
So here are some highlights of Diva events in the last two months. Thanks to Lori for the nudge and the photos of Trails Day. Divas -- send some photos for us to post!

it is spring, after all
Another winter is about to end, though with several feet of snow on the ground it may not feel that way. Maybe that's why I keep forgetting to update this site! But April is here and tomorrow (!) is our first Diva gathering of the season. That's right. It's the annual meeting and Meet & Greet.
Join us on Wednesday, April 4, at 7:15 p.m. at Paramount Cycles. The shop is at 1320 Huffman Park Drive, in South Anchorage. If you've been wondering what the Divas are all about, this is a fun way to found out.
We'll talk about the upcoming riding season, have a ride-leader sign-up sheet and have a little something for all members to take home. We will also have membership forms for those who haven't yet renewed or for new members.
Bring your bike helmet so we can check the fit. We'll also have a helmet-decorating station where you can add some flair to your lid. There are sure to be tea and cookies, and I've heard rumors of prizes.
And just in case you're wondering, our new ride schedule is complete, just look under the main heading of this site for the "Fabulous Pages." Then start marking your calendar. See you Wednesday!

VaMoose!
20 BELOW in Willow didn't deter Susan, Stacey, Bonnie, Bev, Gloria, and Lori from riding the VaMoose tour at the Willow Winter Carnival. Here is Bonnie's report:
"It was pretty cold! Gloria, Bev and I drove out together and we saw minus 20 I think. I don't think it got any warmer than minus 10 out there while riding! When we finished around 4:00 they said it was minus 17! We had fun though, but didn't ride as far as planned just because of the cold. We were out riding for over 3 hours though. Stacey, Lori, and Susan on the other hand rode the whole 20 mile course I think. They're experienced winter bikers:) "

always time to ride
Some people have retreated to warmer climes and beaches ... but those of us left behind know that it's always time to ride. The warmer temperatures these last two days just make it even more enjoyable!If your swimsuit is still buried in a drawer, I hope you're out enjoying all of this great snow on your bike, your skiis, or your feet!
