So grateful for my life that allows me to know people like Susie Stein and Nickie Luse, and work with stores like Up & Running in Dayton, Ohio…

Susie and Nickie just sent me on the most beautiful 5-miler this morning. Flew right by the Wright Brothers’ old home! (get it?)

Getting excited for the Dirty Dude Girl Trail Race tomorrow! C’mon Dayton, I saw you all out there running this morning — come out and get dirty with us tomorrow!

I heart NY

May 21st, 2009 | No Comments »

OK, walking the streets of New York in 4-inch heels is a sport — and like anyone who is at the top of their game — it’s an art as well. Not to take away from all you active types in New York City running and biking in Central Park and along the Hudson… New York women, I salute you. You look fabulous.


Life on the Range

Lately the Dude Girls have been working their asanas off (yes, we’re trying to stay grounded with a regular yoga practice) in order to prepare us for the upcoming shows such as Outdoor Retailer. That’s why spring time was filled with the playfulness: Katerina Nash, a pro mountain biker for LunaChix has been rockin’ it on her Mountain Bike this season; Heather River found time for a little road trip and wound up at a rodeo (imagine that!); Paula raced for Dude Girl at Sea Otter Bike Races… and won! Kim found time to ride in the Napa Valley at an annual getaway with friends called the Funhogs. As we race to put all the finishing details on our clothing before the shows, we’re dreaming of the next getaway.

Death of a Bike Forges Unexpected Connections: Dude Girl Cycling Shorts, Terry Bicycles, Orbea Bikes

June 2nd, 2007 | Comments Off

My boyfriend, Walter, and I rode around Lake Tahoe… at South Lake, about mile 40 or so, Walter’s vest spilled out of his back pocket, wrapped around his rear cog, and ripped the derailleur right off the stay, bent the rear drop out so that the frame is toast (we’ll check with manufacturer to make sure). After visiting a nearby bike shop and having them give the final death sentence to his bike, we walked to a nearby hotel to ask them to call a cab for us to take us back to the North Shore (about $100 cab ride!)… A Dude Girl GiddyUp Jerseywoman was standing outside waiting for her car to come around and she spotted me and said, “I have those same shorts! I just bought them from Terry Bicycles!” I introduced myself and told her that I was the owner of the company and asked her where she is from: Connecticut! I felt so excited that little ol’ Dude Girl has made it from its tiny perch in Truckee to the roads of Connecticut. The couple loaded our bikes in their car and hauled us to the North Shore, where we bought them lunch – far better than that cab fare! Really sweet people and a fun, unexpected connection over our very own BIKE SHORTS and our wonderful partner Terry Bicycles! What a fun day after all. ‘cept now Walter needs a new bike. Nosotros hablamos Orbea.


Pas de Andrew

June 4th, 2005 | No Comments »

Three weeks on the road with Andrew Chen and suddenly he’s gone. Pas de Andrew. (No Andrew). 
 
We’ve spent day after day developing our inside jokes, and now I’m repeating them to myself and laughing – even chuckled out loud at dinner tonight. Hope the guests this summer will join in the fun. One of our daily favorites goes like this: “Kimmie, Pas de fromage!” and as the day progresses, “Pas de chocolat, Pas de vin, Pas des saucissons, Pas de, Pas de” everthing in France. We ban chocolate, cheese, croissants, butter, cream, and wine from our diets every day. And then religiously break at least one of our commitments by 9 AM in the morning, and the rest by day’s end. It’s impossible here! Photos below: Basque Cake (made of cream) and Basque Wine (delicious)

But Pas de Andy is a BIG deal – it means pas de the guy who compiles, saves and backs up gps, voice and photo data each day. It means pas de the driver who sags my rides when testing a route. Pas de non-paid consultant — this guy’s free advice is smarter and more well thought-out than all the Big Consulting Company team’s put together, and I get it daily! Pas de Dude Girl fan, who makes me feel like a superstar every day — sometimes those few pats on the back are all you need. Pas de Andy. He waved good-bye at 6 AM this morning. Photo below: Andy searching for a Wi Fi signal at 2 AM so that we can get online. (On this particular night we drove for nearly an hour searching for a strong enough signal!)

Tonight, Pas de dinner date. Took myself to dinner tonight to evaluate a restaurant for our group this summer, but also to occupy myself in the absence of my Compadre of the last three weeks. You know what I love about France? I love being seated for dinner knowing that there is only one seating for the evening. I can watch the light change over the Basque Bay in St. Jean de Luz as the sun sets for four hours if I want. There is no change of service. Nobody hawking you at your dinner table, rushing you along so they can make the next seating. I love Coffee as a course. Always served after dessert. Always accompanied by petit fours — bite-size candies or pastries offered as final crescendo to a long meal. Just when you thought it would never end, another sweet surprise! An oh-so-decadent luxury.

I loved the sunset out the dining room window tonight: one big fishing boat gently drifting away, and a small row boat bobbing. Just two floating vessels against a tired sun, still coaxing a twinkle from the sea. Andy often jokes that the French Government sets up the scenery for the tourists before they arrive, and then takes it all down again when they leave. I thought of that tonight as I watched the romance out my window, and smiled. Bon soiree Andrew! The Dude Girl guests will love what you have done here. Thank you. (And you are right, the Government is out taking down the charming set as I write!) Hope you don’t mind me sharing a bit of your email to me today during your layover in Paris: “Bonjour Kimmie! I got so hungry that I had a jambon fromage sandwich at the airport.” Andrew: tomorrow? Pas de fromage! Pas de chocolat! Pas de vin! I promise.
