    Ahem, the winningest mountain biker of all time (& my personal favorite cyclist/anti-cyclist) is Juli Furtado. ...who I hear left Durango and lives somewhere around here now, working for Santa Cruz...

    Very sweet girl back then, but, they didn't call her the Terminator for nothin.

    I was just debating the marketability of women-specific FR frames, (geometry, not floral-print anodizing) with an old fart MFG. This thread is nice to see.

    Great article! I like this quote:

    "People don't realize it," she says, "but the whole secret to mountain biking is pretty simple: The slower you go, the more likely it is you'll crash."

    Kinda relates to how I think about DH.
