BikeEnvy is a new web site for female cyclists created by former SheCycles.com editor Bex Hopkins a former DH and XC mountain bike racer, with road and track racer Janet Birkmyre. BikeEnvy.co.uk is a one-stop online resource for women riders who want the latest information about what to wear and ride, and how to get the most out of their riding experience. Packed full of reviews and product information for mountain bikers, track and road riders and everything in between too. We’ll also feature news from around the globe, race reports, health and fitness tips, great rides and social events, plus a community driven forum.
THE site for all of us disappointed when Magicalia decided to end SheCycles. Expect the same female focused news and reviews, plus I’ll be contributing to reviews, and working with BikeEnvy on dirtgirls.
Last summer Joanne Petterson spent a few weeks staying and riding with flowmtb in Morzine. A top girl - great fun to hang out with and super riding buddy.

Infor from Jacquie on next year’s courses:
With lots of positive feedback on our courses this year we are looking forward to a very exciting 2010. We can now confirm our new course dates for 2010, as before we will be running 6 dates one per month as follows…
25th April, 23rd May, 27th June, 8th August, 5th September and 3rd October.
I’m also delighted to confirm that we’ve taken on two more coaches which enables us to further increase the capacity on the courses.
The Dirt Divas Race Team has some new members for 2010 and they are all very excited about getting involved, we are planning on taking part in the Gorrick Spring Series again as well as some enduro events later in the year, you can follow their progress on our news page.
Our website has now been updated with the new course dates as well as with lots of lovely new photos. The new coaches profiles and 2010 race team members profiles will be uploaded in the next few days, so do take a look when you have a moment www.dirtdivas.co.uk
