SD Grrrl Fair, Bike Workshop
Posted By Sam Ollinger on November 3, 2009
Ken from Bikes Del Pueblo dropped us a note to let us know about the upcoming San Diego Grrrl Fair. His email had a request that states in part,
San Diego Grrrl Fair 2009
San Diego Grrrl Fair is a local event set for December that is designed to share skills and knowledge to empower womyn/women and their communities. We’re currently looking for anybody who is woman cyclist to head a workshop or discussion on biking, such as sharing their experiences riding or just practical how-to’s of biking.
If you are a woman cyclist and would like to head a workshop, please contact Ken at sxeken (at) riseup (dot) net or leave a comment that we can forward to Ken .
Furthermore, the organizers would also like to host an event that reflects the needs of their attendees. They have created a survey to determine what those needs are.

Why are we limiting ourselves to just female workshop instructors? One of the best workshops I attended was taught by a guy,Harold Clayton. The setting was women only, but the knowledge I came away with was 10 times what I expected. This guy knos his stuff and how to teach it. You want a good, no a very good workshop get this guy there. Get this, he lives in San Diego. I emailed him and found out he is teaching workshops at bike club meetings all over Califfornia. In november he’ll be in Orange County. and In December he’ll be teaching workshops in Ventura and Kern Counties. I’ll be sure to tell everyone biker chic I know if he’s teaching a workshop at your Grrrl fest in 2010.
Get bck with me.
Thanks
