Diva Night Recap

Diva Night- Summer 2009

From newbie to pro, roadie to mountain biker, women from all avenues of cycling went out to the Laguna Niguel Store on June 4th to enjoy a unique night of cycling-related entertainment.
The Rock N’ Road Divas is a riding group exclusively for female cyclists. Founded in 2006, this cycling club has grown to nearly 200 members! The RNR Divas are dedicated to connecting the female cycling community, and to bringing more women into the sport. Along with flat-fix clinics, organized rides and demo days, the RNR Divas host their very special ‘Diva Night’ twice a year.
The store was packed with more than 100 enthusiastic cyclists who were ready for a very extraordinary night, and, with the guest speakers, game show, free raffle prizes and special discounts, this Diva Night did not disappoint! The occasion began with the following informative, dynamic speakers:
Craig Hopps from Efficiency Coaching educated the group about the importance of coaching and how to get the most out of your rides.
Hammer Nutrition’s spokesperson Sean Kneale explained the value of proper nutrition while riding. He taught the audience how to beat the ‘bonk’!
After the speakers finished, the RNR Divas played their version of Jeopardy. The audience cheered on the contestants, and they definitely had reason to cheer! After each lightning-quick round a contestant won a prize bag filled with an assortment of cycling swag.
The event ended with the Grand Prize Drawing for a Garmin 705, a Thule bike rack, three A La Carte coaching sessions, a limo ride and a women’s Specific Era Expert mountain bike.
This Diva Night proved to be another fun and successful event for the Divas, and they look forward to many more years and members to come!
A special thanks to all the Diva Night sponsors: Specialized Bicycles, Hammer Nutrition, Chamois Butter, Efficiency Coaching, TriSlide and RnR owners!

Giro d'Italia 100th Anniversary

Giro d'Italia

The Giro was inspired by the Tour de France and, just as the French race was intended to boost circulation of L'Auto, so Emilio Camillo Costamagna, the editor of La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper, aimed to increase his circulation. The first Giro d'Italia started on May 13, 1909 at Milan with eight stages totalling 2,448 kilometres (1,521 miles). Luigi Ganna was the first winner.
Along with the Tour de France and the World Cycling Championship, the Giro d'Italia makes up the Triple Crown of Cycling. Along with the Tour de France and the Vuelta a España it is one of the three Grand Tours.

Now in its 100th year in 2009, the Giro d'Italia, or Tour of Italy, will draw the sport's top stars-including Lance Armstrong for the first time ever. Lance will ride in support of Astana temmate Levi Leipheimer, who could be the first American winner of the Giro since Andy Hampsten in 1988. To win, he'll have to outmaneuver past champions and homeland heroes like Ivan Basso, Danilo Diluca, and Damiano Cunego, as well as rising stars like Mark Cavendish of Columbia-High Road and seasoned veteran sprinters like Alessandro Petacchi.
