Fluffy Bunnies and Hugs

After months of working with Carrie on the website, planning, proposals and clinics, it was nice to have some affirmation on our direction. We are headed in a good one and with a good group. Of that I’m sure. So, after cleaning up the last taco shell from our lustrious QDoba spread and the last beer bottle rattled in the recycling bin at The Church Key, Carrie and I drove away abuzz about a year full of excitement.

I’m relieved–as many of the attendees of last night’s meeting were–that our inagural “meet + greet” for 2007 wasn’t just me, Carrie and a handful of our supportive friends shoveling down some tacos and blaming low attendance on the weather. There were roughly 30 women braving the cold night for our first social. The exciting part for us was hearing from all those that COULDN’T make it, but sincerely had intended and wanted to.

There are a lot of people out there: riding their trainers, braving sub-freezing temperatures, wistfully looking over the dashboard of their cars as they commute, attending various spin classes and so on. We’ll get them together.

Thanks to those who came and supported and to those that continue to do so “behind the scenes”. We are sincerely grateful for everyone’s enthusiasm. It is contagious and will lead to the success of the “revolution” we intend to start. The real success of this club lies within each member and rider and the strength of the network we create. We’ll need your continued support and feedback to build that. We can’t wait to hear from everyone, collectively, individually or otherwise.

Feel free to use the stlrevolution FORUM to do so. (hint, hint)

Until next time. Ride on, my friends. And let me know if you’re riding, too. (forum, hint, hint).
