Hi all.  I wanted to reply to Rick in particular as well as the list in 
general, as I have received a couple of inquiries about men attending the 
women's rides.  I certainly don't want to step on anyone's toes, nor to 
pre-empt Rick's prearranged ride.  The 1:30 ride that I have announced is 
not meant to replace Rick's, but rather to offer an additional option to 
women who have been riding together recently.  
	The question of whether men can ride with the women is a difficult 
one that I haven't yet pondered.  The purpose of the women's rides was to 
offer an alternative (and a haven) to those who occasionally wish to ride 
with other women rather than the team as a whole.  But the intention was 
not to be exclusive.  I'm open to input on this question--please post 
replies to the list rather than to me personally so we can discuss it as 
a team.

			Thanks--Mary Kelly
