IT'S IN THE SHOES
Over the summer I went to Dallas for a women's mountain bike camp with DORBA. I was riding a Fuel EX 8 WSD demo bike and wearing my cool Trek gear...and then came the shoes. I had an old school 15 year old pair of Nike pink and purple mountain bikes shoes. They had laces with a velcro strip that came across the top. I loved these shoes as they had served me well for many many years.
Before our first ride demo girl Ross looked at my shoes and almost lost it. You could tell she was doing all she could to keep it together and NOT make fun of my shoes. Low and behold I looked up and noticed another woman with the exact same pair of shoes! I quickly pointed them out to Ross and told her to bite her tongue...then she quickly pointed out to me that the woman was 20 years older than me and maybe it was time to get a new pair of shoes. She was right.
I am now wearing the new WSD Bontrager RL Mountain Shoe. They're pretty and comfy and AFFORDABLE! Just what a woman loves!
Look what you get for $139! Such a deal!

Hold on now, Susan. It wasn't just the shoes I was making fun of. It was YOU wearing the shoes. That other lady, she was rockin those shoes. Owning them, if you will. You, however, not so much. I will say, you've got great pizazz, just not enough for those shoes.
Congrats on the new kicks!
