[Closed] How many women are on here then?

LOL at some of the comments on here this morning!

How do you prepare, other than stand VERY still???

I'm thinking a whole bottle of Absynthe and thinking like van Gogh?

I must make note of the word wazzock, I want to use it more often in conversation...

Baaaaaarrrpppp!

I'm a girl. But yeah I tend to 'lurk' rather than post!

Although from previous threads they do seem to act more like a pair of old ladies than blokes

emma82 I call 'handbags' on you!

There was a picture of me on the pictures thread. It's disappeared now, I think it was because I was too openly expressing my femininity.

Think you've been rumbled - no girl would say that!

Mods, MODS! I've been misquoted! I find this offensive.

Sammie.

Seeing that I spent five months living in yeti's shed, and a fair bit of that time watching said yeti sleeping, I know the truth of his / her gender. I'm prepared to reveal all for the right price (generally a twix or a curly wurly - I'm cheap, and sadly, easy).

Mitch don't be such a [common insult that rhymes with your name removed by the mods]

To be frank, yeti, it was difficult to tell with all that coarse fur in the way (I didnt realise that bigfoots / bigfeet keep their pelts all year, I thought they shed them), so it would, unfortuneately, be a guess. Fair cop!

Does riding like a girl count ? I could out a few on those grounds.

Sharki - Diane told me you are the chap that was in the pub in Inners a few weeks ago - I had a few pints but I could swear you had a beard.

I'm a girl and so is Diane, but guess thats obvious !

I'm about, don't post often as don't have as much internet time these days so seem to mainly lurk.

That's not fair, I know of a few girls who ride better than me

Saucer of cream for Hels please 🙂

my wife keeps calling me gay, does that count?

TJ - or you could think of it as a compliment ! If the girl was Rachel Atherton.

I sooo wish I could ride like my namesake!!!

Yeti' s just taking the P isn't he?

If I could ride like Rachel I wouldn't be at college!

I'm a woman - I post pretty regularly. Hi x

Yeti' s just taking the P isn't [b]S[/b]he?

No!

I don't post as much these days, too busy with work etc. but another girlie here too.

Unbelievable - 3 pages of posts about female mountainbikers, and SFB hasnt even appeared once!

Simon, Simon - Are you ok?? have you locked yourself in the photo-dungeon again? 😆

I suspect I've been blocked from my office pooter (possibly in a vain attempt to get me to attend to work), so I have to shift to a different machine to access STW 🙁

I'm a girl,bat for the other side and I'm a mountain biker.

Oddly enough it's the mountain biker bit that most people struggle to accept. And only really get embarrassed about my choice in slippers 🙂

TSY - I guarentee you that my handbag is bigger than yours so be warned....

Double post 🙁

*Waves to all*

Feel like part of the furniture really, is that good or bad?

I've often been called a woman when riding my bike, a quick check down my shorts reveals my riding partners need to get their eyes tested.

*waves* Hey Auntie!

emma82, that may be so, but I have a particularly vicious swing and meticulosuly pack mine!

Yeti you meticulously pack your bag?

Your doing a really bad job at impersonating a girl!

I like to be able to find my lippy quickly... mwah!

[Edit] Anyways emsz, I find that offensive, it's hard enough that all men think we can't be orgnasied and that we run our lives and handbags in a confused muddle?

I'm not a girl.

However my missus is, and does occasionally post using my account. I realise the mods might not take too kindly to that though...

PJM1974 - She won't be the only one. I used hubby's a/c for years before becoming bunnyhop.

There's a lot of gender swapping going on here 😉

Anyways emsz, I find that offensive, it's hard enough that all men think we can't be orgnasied and that we run our lives and handbags in a confused muddle?

We can be organised. Our lives can be organised. But for those that have handbags, those handbags cannot be organised. It's the [i]rules[/i].

Oh, don't get me wrong, handbags will be meticulously organised for a week or two after purchase. This time will be [i]different[/i], we tell ourselves. Within the month we're scrabbling around trying to find our wallet which is drowning in a mass of random makeup items, mobile phones, a comb and small rainforest's worth of receipts and a random flyer that was randomly shoved at us last time we walked down the high street.

Can I just emphasise that I am all-woman? 😀

Did someone mention handbags - http://emmyjane-design.blogspot.com/

Can I just emphasise that I am all-woman

Lol - is that in the same context as all mountain or DH or XC or FR?

PS fantastic thread btw & I'm a bloke (just in case) 😉

Damn, the suede one with cream lining would've gone so well with my favourite jacket. 😥

You better believe it. 🙂

Didn't realise there were categories like mountainbikes.

So what does an XC woman look like?

edited: improper 🙂

erm. I'm of the male persuasion but will admit that I have a habit of riding like 'a girl'.

I find it funny that there's not enough girls on here and some of the girls that are on here are pretending to be boys as they don't want people to know they are girls......

Isn't there another girl on here called Miaowing Kat or something similar who posted a while ago as she was having a bit of a hard time and got quite a lot of good advice & offers of riding companions.....? She posts now & then, but think she's more of a lurker.

We used to have a regular riding buddy who is a girl/bird/chick - in fact she kinda kicked off our group riding sessions but has since stopped riding as much. It was nice to have a little bit of balance (plus she was dead easy to creep out on night rides).

I'm thinking a whole bottle of Absynthe and thinking like van Gogh?

Reporting for duty. Not riding much at the mo though, so don't have much to say on here.

I'm with Mrs Toast on the handbags, my is, always has been and always will be a. way too big 2. never organised and d. full of rubbish I never ever use or need although bunnyhop *Charcoal and grey floral bag with cream lining* might make a nice Christmas present (in case my lurking OH has bothered to stalk my thread today) 🙄

Just while we are on it - how come some women get known as birds/chicks? Just curious 8)

do you see how you've answered your own question there? 😆

my old missus who was faster than me both DH and XC would have given you a virtual head-butt for writing that!

That's why I put it in speech marks...........The girl we used to ride with would regularly whup me on technical stuff & was far faster than me (although I did start making in-roads there).

Never understood the whole issue of masculinity/being shown up with a girl riding harder, faster, more skilfully, to be honest.....I just think 'good effort, must try harder....!'

emma82

bunnyhop *Charcoal and grey floral bag

We've sold it. But can make another to order if I'm given enough notice. Its one of my favourites.

Great thread btw.

Mrs MTG posts on here under her own user name, rides trailquests and is usually the only solo veteran woman in the MTB marathons we ride.

Dunno why she hasn't introduced herself yet.

Hello been busy today so only just seen this thread, I ahm a Girlie too although don't take no messing 😉 I am used to being the only chick riding but a few more would be nice.

I used to post on here a bit but mostly just lurk now as don't get to ride much with two children under 2. Soon though I hope!! Next summer I WILL do some riding if not before.

I'm used to being the only girl on rides, and I hold my head up proudly in the "riding like a girl" stakes, I'm naff at it, but I enjoy it 😀

Hi, another 'read more than i post' girl here. Usually ride solo or with guys but that doesnt bother me. Build and maintain my bikes and to quote a chap i rode with a couple of months ago i 'know alot about the technical aspect of bikes and stuff which is cool for a bird' 🙂

Does riding like a girl count ?

typical fatuous toxic institutional sexism 🙁

Hi Muddypuddle, I'm just fitting that new tyre for you. 😉

well this thread has made me all happy, us birds are not the dying breed I thought we were. We actually seem to be increasing 😀 there are even a few chaps who have realised it really would be better to be a woman. 😯 happy dayz

Hey bunnyhop, has my brother ordered a bag for my birthday yet, I did make a not-very-subtle suggestion to him..,
🙄

Rachel

wooohooo, seeing as we are all still here, I am going to do a girlie dance cos I just worked out how to post a pic. Well, I read instructions...... not very girlie of me eh?!!

Well, I read instructions...... not very girlie of me eh?!!

Blokes don't need to read instructions ..........it's a very girlie/gay thing to do.

What's the picture going to be ?

Kittens ?

Day off today so only just seen this. Hello from me and the girls

[img] http://images.fotopic.net/?iid=yzw0tw&outx=600&quality=70 [/img]

The picture is of me on my bike in the mugshot thread. You will be pleased to know that although there are no kittens in the pic, I am at least in a pink top

Ey up, another lass here. Sometimes lurk, sometimes post, depends on the topic.

Waves to all the girls I know above ^^. Yes quite a few of us on here have met up and ridden with each other.

Rachel (allthegear)- I've not seen any mails in the emmyjane blog inbox, I'll check with Emmy tomorrow. You can always send an E-Mail to nbt if there is no joy.

Are we doing piccies now? 😀
I'll not sully the thread with my mugshot 🙁

Caz xx

Hels.

Beard???? I always drink whilst doing a hand stand...

That was no man beard. That's my winter muffty.

Aww, I feel left out. I've never met up with anyone off the forum, though saying that I've not ridden my bike for a month now either. I've turned into a fair weather rider . Too, too cold at the moment 😕

Emma82, I've not met anyone either, you aren't alone....I am a bit of a billy no mates though lol
Caz xx

Well, maybe we should arrange a meet 😀

As on previous rides, I'll bring the doughnuts 😛

Ho hum - in the next hour I'll have not smoked for an entire week. A whole 7 days. Awesome!
