WAHINE WARRIOR

Mountain biking is pretty intimidating. There’s undulating surfaces, obstacles and unfriendly flora. This mountain bike experience is just for women. The format will be similar to a typical cross country mountain bike event, Cat 1, Cat 2 and Cat 3 women will compete as they would normally but without the overanxious testosterone driven male either blocking the path or passing too closely. We are working with sponsors and vendors to bring out women specific bikes for you to demo and a skills clinic will be held in conjunction with the event prior to the Cat 3 race.

We encourage you to come out and take advantage of the opportunity to learn about and help grow the sport of mountain biking for women.

NOT ONE MORE FOUNDATION

This story was taken from the Gilbert Examiner.com  Click Here to Read more...

On May 17, 2010, 36-year-old environmental and bicycle advocate, Jay Fretz, was struck and killed by a vehicle while commuting home from work on his bicycle. Jay was a draftsman for a Tempe architectural firm.

Jay left behind a young wife, Angie, and a 5-year-old daughter, Anika. The "NOT ONE MORE" Foundation and the entire cycling community mourns this great loss. To help lighten the financial burden on Angie and Anika, "NOT ONE MORE" is planning a fundraiser event on Saturday, Sept. 18, 2010.

This will be a valley-wide Saturday morning ride from Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler, Tempe and all points in the valley culminating with a demonstrable show of support for Angie and Anika Fretz at Tempe Town Lake. "Not One More" invites all cycling groups, teams and clubs to schedule their Saturday, Sept. 18th rides accordingly to join together and "LINK THE LAKE" for JAY FRETZ. "NOT ONE MORE" founders Sterling Baer and Dara Schulenberg hope thousands will join to completely encircle the lake with bicycles as a cycling community to say "NOT ONE MORE" senseless cyclist death in our valley and state.

Aside from the difficult emotional consequences that encircle this tragedy, meeting the needs of comfort throughout this grieving time has taken the back seat to meeting another life or death need: supporting Angie in all of the ways a human can be supported as she endures chemotherapy for a diagnosis of breast cancer and ultimately, a mastectomy.

Angie Fretz is without health insurance now that Jay has passed, is self-employed and does not earn an income unless she is working transcribing accident tapes and must raise her daughter alone. She is currently on a leave of absence from her contracted work.

Look for details in the Gilbert Examiner and through flyers in valley bike shops for details about the time and more about how to donate to help the Fretz family.  Subscribe now to Gilbert Examiner to keep updated. For more information, contact Sheryl Keeme at Sheryl@girlsgoneriding.org or 602-369-7452.
