KathieReid has vivid memories of her
first ride on a bike without training wheels at
the tender age of 5 years, but didn’t take up
cycling in spandex until 9 years ago. Within
just a few years, she had done multiple centu-

and began racing. A “career-cat 4” Velo Bella,
she simply races for the challenge and the joy

 Sagebrush Safari
San Diego, California, USA,
April 5, 2009
The Sagebrush Safari course was wildly
praised by all of the riders that we talked to as
it seemed to provide every rider an opportu-
nity to ride the terrain that they excelled in. The
figure eight shaped course started with a long
pavement climb that then funneled riders onto
a fun downhill section filled with grin-inducing
swoopy turns.
The riders were then greeted by another
climb and a hike-a-bike of reasonable length
after which the riders were funneled back
onto singletrack for the final descent into the
finish. Pua Sawicki (Ellsworth) clearly domi-
nated in the Pro Women’s field, finishing nearly
8 minutes before her next closest competitor,
Allison Mann (IE Bikes/Nema). Mann was
followed by Amanda Carey (Kenda/Tomac/
Hayes) and Natasha Hernday (Amgen). Kathy
Sherwin (Kenda/Tomac/Hayes) rounded out
the Pro Women’s Podium.
It was great to see so many women racing and
enjoying themselves; from the Pro Category
on to the Category 3 Masters Women, it looked
as it everyone was enjoying themselves. It was
also great to see a woman, Annette Padilla (Celo
Pacific), racing in the Category 2 Singlespeed
race. Hopefully more women will start racing
their singlespeeds and eventually we’ll get our
own Women’s Singlespeed category.

San Dimas Stage Race
Three days of races in Velo, California March 20 - 22 2009
he San Dimas Stage Race
is a well organized, short
3-day stage race that is
hosted by Southern Califor-
nia Velo. The San Dimas Stage Race is
not included on USA Cycling’s Na-
tional Racing Calendar, but as it falls
so close in time and geographical lo-
cation to Redlands, which is included
on the National Racing Calendar, it
often attracts some of the top talent.
The 10th Annual edition of the San
Dimas Stage Race was no different
as Columbia Highroad, Colavita Sut-
ter Home, CalueAct Capital, and TIB-
CO all sent full squads to contest the
race.

tain Road time trial, like the results Mara Abbott clearly
has raw talent that, barring injuries,
should allow her to develop into a
staple of the women’s peloton. Fur-
thermore, Mara Abbott can only ben-
efit from riding with Team Columbia
Highroad, as the team boasts a roster
that includes some of the most expe-
rienced and well rounded riders in
the women’s peloton.
It was also not surprising to see Kris-
ten LaSasso, who has ridden for Team
Lipton and Specialized Designs for
Women in the past, finish in sec-
ond place. LaSasso is known for her
climbing prowess and began the San
Dimas Stage Race in great form. Fur-
ther down the results list, finishing in
6th place, was Ina Yoko Teutenberg
(Columbia Highroad). Teutenberg is
a well known force in the women’s
peleton but she’s generally known
more for her sprinting prowess rather
than her climbing ability. With such
a strong showing in the initial stage
of the San Dimas Stage Race, Teuten-
berg made the initial steps to win the
general classification.
The San Dimas Hospital Road Race,
the second of the stages, is a 56 mile
race run over a 7 mile loop that has
two 200 foot climbs with Queen of the
Mountain points available at the sec-
ond climb on the second, fourth, and
sixth lap. Hot Spot Sprint points were
also available at the start/finish on
the third, fifth, and seventh lap. The

points, made for fast and competitive
racing.
Shortly into the race, a select group
formed which contained: Ina Yoko
Teutenberg, Tiffany Cromwell (Co-
lavita Sutter Home), Coryn Rivera, a
17 year old super junior riding for
Metro Volkswagen, Mara Abbott, Ol-
ivia Dillion, the Irish National Time
Trial Champion riding for Touchstone
Climbing, Kristen LaSasso, as well as
Robin Farina (ValueAct Capital). With
the major teams represented in the
select group, the chase group was
relatively unmotivated. From the se-
lect group, Teutenberg sprinted for
the win and Emilia Fahlin (Columbia
Highroad) taking the chase group
sprint over five minutes later.
The final stage of the San Dimas Stage
race was a fast, 6 corner criterium
with a small 40 foot power climb
between turn three and four, and
two Hot Spot Sprints with 40 min-
utes and 20 minutes to go. Mara
Abbott (Columbia Highroad)
still held the top
spot in the gen-
eral classifica-
tion that she ini-
tially earned during
the first stage, the uphill
Glendora Mountain Road
time trial. Abbott’s teammate,
Ina Yoko Teutenberg, with the
benefit of the time bonuses
that she had gathered dur-
ing the San Dimas Hospital
Road Race,
now sat in
second, only
17 seconds
behind Ab-
bott. With Teu-
tenberg and Ab-
bott both sitting
so close to each
other in the gen-
eral classification,
it was all but assured that Columbia
Highroad would end the day with one
of the two at the top of the general
classification.
The criterium began with ValueAct
Capital, Colavita Sutter Home, and
Columbia Highroad patrolling the
front and the attacks began shortly af-
ter the race started. ValueAct Capital,
Colavita Sutter Home both sending
riders off the front more than once,
but with Kim Anderson and the rest
of the Columbia Highroad team, all of
the attacks were easily reeled back in
and the pack was kept under control.
Teutenberg took the first of the Hot
Spot Sprints easily and broke early
for the second Hot Spot Sprint, after
which she became the race leader
on the road. Teutenberg continued
to drive the pace after the second
of the Hot Spot sprints maintaining a
20 odd second gap on the field until
she crossed the line first, with no oth-
er riders in sight. Tina Pic (Colavita
Sutter Home) narrowly won the field
sprint over Kendall Ryan (Metro Volk-
swagen).

Why advertise in
Women’s Cycling Magazine?
For advertising to be maximally effec-
tive with women, women readers must
first be made to feel included in the target
market; however, cycling has long been a
male-dominated sport with correspond-
ing male-dominated media coverage. By
advertising in a women’s specific cycling
magazine, companies have the unique
opportunity to reach a market that for
so many years has been overlooked and
under-accessed.
As consumers, women are very loyal to
a brand with which they have had good
experiences. When women purchase cy-
cling products, they are more likely to try a
product made by a brand with which they
have had a positive experience, either
directly or indirectly.Women’s Cycling Maga-
zine offers advertisers cross-category growth
potential because our coverage of women’s
cycling will not be limited to one type of rid-
ing and will include racing (road, mountain,
cyclocross, track, collegiate, and high school),
recreational cycling (centuries, charity
rides, touring reports), and advocacy. As a
racing cyclist who has worked in the cycling
industry for close to 10 years, it is my firm
belief that companies drastically limit their
potential for long-term growth if they fail to
meet the needs of the growing women’s mar-
ket. I look forward to working with you and
answering any questions you might have.
