There is a group of some very giving individuals (and company) who want the best for us women out there. They are The Luna Chix , sponsored by LUNAbar, a division of CLIFbar.
I have had the pleasure to go on a few mountain bike rides with this group and I want to pass the word along to other women in the U.S. looking for a group to ride with. Unfortunately, they do not have Luna Chix in every big city, but you may be lucky to find one in your area.
Their backgrounds are diverse but their goal unified. It is "to get groups of women together so they can support each other through learning a new sport, developing skills, training and most importantly - have fun!"
Any money raised through bike clinics (most rides are free) go directly to The Breast Cancer Fund. LUNAbar has also joined forces to raise the awareness for the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics . If you go to the website, they have a rating system of most cosmetics and their harmful ingredients. Some companies have a product line containing the least AND the most harmful! 
Back to the Luna Chix... Some of the mountain bikers are among the best in the country. They offer tips and support during the rides, and the trails range from novice to advanced, sending different groups out with similar riding experience. I encourage anyone who is interested in learning how to mountain bike (or road bike!), to seek out a Luna Chix group near you. The group in Arizona is at http://www.lunachixaz.com. They are very patient and willing to assist you in learning and improving your skills - and never intimidating, although their skills are quite amazing!
