Girl Gear: Fi’zi:k R3 Donna

.
Making a statement, the Fizik R3 Donna is nothing short of a fine Italian slipper with all the fit and function of a high end cycling shoe.  Let’s just say that if Prada made cycling wear, this might be it.  This shoe is truly set apart from what most of the industry is currently offering. With a nod to tradition, Fizik adds smooth, durable kangaroo leather accents to a microfiber upper.  All the materials are lightweight and durable.  I’ve been [...]

Channel Your Inner Diva – 2011 Orbea Orca Dama

As a long time rider and fan of Orbea bicycles I have noticed great developments in each iteration of the Orbea Diva. Just when you think it can't get any better...

Girl Gear: Loeka XC/Road Jersey Aspen Riding

.
When I first eyed the Aspen Riding Jersey from Loeka I was immediately intrigued.  First, it’s purple, not lavender but purple, straight up smack you in the face purple. I like this, no namby-pamby colors for Loeka!  To compliment the nice deep color are some low key designs along the side and back with a logo across the front.  It’s simple, feminine and not too girlie.  But what is a good looking jersey without function? Fortunately, the Aspen Riding Jersey [...]

Girl Gear: Camelbak 2011 Magic

.
One of the most essential elements of enjoying a great day of riding is staying hydrated.  While we all know this is true, it’s not always easy to stay on top of the game.  Many times, as a small woman I’ve often been faced with a mountain bike that does not allow for a full size water bottle, let alone two.  I’ve run the gamut of hydration packs, many times feeling like Goldilocks and the three bears… this one’s too [...]
