An informal mailing list for female mountainbikers in Wellington (NZ) to organise social MTB rides.

More information:

In 2008, I was helping out with the PNP MTBing social rides and pre-rides of the courses for the PNP MTB Series. It was great to see so many women out on these rides, with new people coming along each week. After a bit of discussion with a few of the regular women who come along, I thought it'd be good to set up a mailing list for women MTBers in Wellington.. So the Welly Women MTBers group was born!

The idea is to have women subscribing to the mailing list by emailing: WellyWomenMTB-subscribe@yahoogroups.com. This will create a mailing group with a whole bunch of women MTBers email addresses. Anyone who's heading out for a weekday/weeknight/weekend ride can then send an email out to the group by emailing WellyWomenMTB@yahoogroups.com to hook up with like-minded riders in Wellington.

At the beginning of 2009, I moved down to Dunedin so if someone in Welly would like to take on more of a leadership role (organise weekly rides, email with upcoming events, etc), then please email me and let me know. Also, if you have any suggestions about how this group can be improved/ideas for group activities, etc, then please email me also.

Happy trails!

PS: The primary purpose of the mailing list is to organise social MTB rides. Please refrain from spamming the group with unrelated emails. For example, there are other places that can be used for posting buy/sell ads and the like, e.g., www.vorb.org.nz. Cheers!
