On the Ranch

Good friend and Dude Girl Amy Wolf sending one last smoke signal before stepping on the pedals. Dare anyone to catch this lady.

It’s part of her DNA – Fearlessness. Adventure Seeker. Convention breaker. Life Drinker. Road tripper. Voracious reader. Devourer of dirty bonk-prone what-seemed-a-good-idea-at-the-time times. Unapologetic wearer of bruises. The tan of a flip flop. Multiple skin tones from hours on the bike. Or trail. Worn with a summer dress.  Juxtaposed against a penchant for the finer things. Fabrics. Food. Elixirs. Places in the world destined to be found. The way a bottle is positioned on a countertop in a hotel room. The feel and smell of a weighty robe after a shower. A cocktail dress. Red toes.

How do you see her? Who is your Inner Dude Girl? (The best responses may make it into our next catalog or onto our web site!)

The Hands of Dude Girl

‘nuf said.

It’s chilly outside, but sunny here in Marin County. Even in January the trails beg to be treaded upon and the streets beg for 2 wheels. We’re taking time, every day, to run or ride or walk our four-legged creatures. Also time to sit still. I find that the creativity comes when I empty my mind and listen — to the trees, the wind, the squishy sound of wet grass compressed under a paw. Great things happen in moments of stillness. Find yours.

We wish you Holiday celebrations of love, connection, sharing, and gratitude. And a little respite from all the hustle.

We’re grateful to all of you who have shared our passion for sports and love of the outdoors, and who have helped get the business to where it is today.

NEW Western Henna Long-Sleeve Tees

Just back from our Team Dude Girl Training Camp in Palm Springs. Amazing athletes — Dudes too!, great people, an out-n-back ride from La Quinta to Joshua Tree through a picturesque box canyon, topped off by a raging sandstorm, incredible “staff” of generous volunteers, and a humorous cast of characters (laughter is a requirement).

More to come on our growing cycling team. But, for the moment, here are a few pictures that tell the story.

In time for Valentine’s! Our Best-Selling Bike Love tees are in stock and ready to ship! Classic Black/Silver is always a winner but check out the fresh new colors: White/Beetroot, Oatmeal/Poppy Red — a friend of mine saw it and immediately exclaimed, “Oh, that’s pretty! Strawberry red!” Delicious. We used this same color on our Shell long-sleeve, my favorite of the bunch. Reminds me of being in a beautiful candy store or ice cream parlor. Feels refreshing. Try it.
