2. Open to Donations! If you have anything that you can contribute in terms of goodies or swag, that would be fantastic. Even a coupon or discount for your company? Mandy at Accent Inns has kindly given some awesome bike lover stickers!

3. Please help spread the word! The clinic is about 1/4 full and starts in just over 3 weeks! It would be great to have a huge group of ladies out again this year! I know I've heard a few of you mention you have wives, partners, friends, coworkers.... interested so please encourage them to register!

Thanks for your support! ~Jen
