Jennifer! Please register for the Waiting list! That way we have your information. If it looks like there are enough interested women we will be having alternate ways to learn. Like group rides or informal practices! There are already 3 women on the wait list so that is a good sign that there will be other learnign opportunities.
Also check out http://www.meetup.com/Illinois-Women-Cyclists/. We are doing an indoor training ride this sunday and will surely be talking cycling there!
