Or to remember the great times if you've already joined us. Hope to see you out on your bike soon.Jackie Marchandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04660881821433768602noreply@blogger.comBlogger223125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19311770.post-58864399425355801922015-12-31T18:41:00.000-05:002015-12-31T18:41:32.042-05:00Angel Fund WinnersWe are pleased to announce the winners of our Angel Fund. A committee of eight of us reviewed the 139 entries based on need. The decision was more difficult than any of us could have imagined. There were stories of illness, accidents, death and grief, but also stories of recovery, growth and rebirth.<br />
<br />
We wish we could afford to have given free trips to everyone who entered. However, we were forced to narrow it down to only four. Congratulations to the following women who will be going to our Island Hopper: Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard June 10-14, 2016 for free!<br />

Please don't despair if you entered and weren't chosen. We will be offering more opportunities like this one again in the future. We wish everyone a happy and healthy new year!Jackie Marchandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04660881821433768602noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19311770.post-64860328264891574432015-12-10T15:05:00.000-05:002015-12-10T15:05:19.180-05:00Apply for a Free Tour<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gq8lRzoGDeY?rel=0" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
We're looking for women who may have suffered a loss, overcome an obstacle, or are in desperate need of a respite, and who would not otherwise be able to afford one of our tours. <br />
<br />
We will give away up to 4 free trips to our <a href="http://womantours.com/wt.nantucket.html" target="_blank">Island Hopper tour in Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard June 10-14, 2016</a> to the most deserving women.<br />
<br />
We are fortunate to have an angel who has made a substantial donation to help us keep "doing what we do." We know how rejuvenating our bicycle tours can be, so we are paying it forward. <br />
<br />
Tell us why you or someone you know deserves one of our free tours by Christmas, and we'll announce the winners on New Year's Eve. Start your 2016 right. Good luck!<br />
<br />

Winter getting you down? Are your clothes feeling tighter? Do you beat
yourself up for not having worked out at all this week? Or last week? Or
the week before that? Then it's time for a reality check. Here are 10
ways to beat those winter blahs and motivate yourself.<br />
<ol>
<li>Sign up for our <a href="http://womantours.com/wt.bermuda.html" shape="rect" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Bermuda Blues</a> tour in March. You have a month to get ready and there's no winter in Bermuda.</li>
<li>Buy some new workout clothes and try a different class at the gym. Even if you can't keep up, you'll look good.</li>
<li>Embrace the season. Rent a pair of snowshoes or cross-country skis and try a new sport. Just be ready to fall.</li>
<li>Need some help to get back in shape? Sign up for our beginner 13-day <a href="http://womantours.com/wt.eastcoastmeander.html" shape="rect" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">East Coast Meander</a>
in May. It's really three tours in one, so you save $230. Even if
you're not in shape at the start of the tour, you will be by the end of
it. </li>
<li>Try a new app. The free <a href="http://www.cardiio.com/" shape="rect" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Cardiio app</a> offers a 7-minute workout you can do anywhere without props. Hey, seven minutes is better than zero.</li>
<li>Check
your bicycle. Is it ready to be ridden at the first sign of spring? If
not, take it to your bike shop now. During the slow season, mechanics
have time to tune up or fix whatever is broken.</li>
<li>Take a walk. Wear lots of layers and arrange to meet a friend for coffee afterwards as a reward.</li>
<li>Be ready to experience spring in all its glory by signing up for our <a href="http://womantours.com/wt.yellowstone.html" shape="rect" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Yellowstone National Park</a> tour in June. We're still offering a $139 discount.</li>
<li>Stop feeling guilty and curl up on the couch to watch a good <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_about_bicycles_and_cycling" shape="rect" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">movie about cycling</a>. The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_LRQ6d9wdc" shape="rect" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Triplets of Belleville</a> is my favorite.</li>
<li>Plan now to prevent this from happening to you next year. Sign up for our February 2016 <a href="http://womantours.com/wt.newzealand.html" shape="rect" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">New Zealand </a>tour by the end of this month and save $199. It's summer now down under! </li>

Mark your 2015 calendars today! We'll host bicycle fun rides for women only from our <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/WomanTours,+Inc./@43.094434,-77.576906,17z/data=!4m7!1m4!3m3!1s0x89d14abd739f9f4d:0x8a049c06fe6d4bfb!2sWomanTours,+Inc.!3b1!3m1!1s0x89d14abd739f9f4d:0x8a049c06fe6d4bfb" target="_blank">WomanTours headquarters in Rochester, NY</a> again this year: <br />
<br />
Thursday, May 28 at 5:45pm<br />
Friday, June 19 at 5:45pm<br />
Tuesday, July 21 at 5:45pm<br />
Thursday, September 24 at 5:15pm<br />
<br />
All ages and abilities are welcome. All rides will have a sweep cyclist
riding last who will help fix any flat tires. No one will get dropped or
lost and we'll offer different length rides from 11 to 24 miles.<br />
<br />
If you need to borrow a bike for the ride, let us know as we may
have one available. Afterwards, we invite you to stay for a drink or a bite to eat
at a nearby pub.<br />
<br />
As the dates get closer, we'll ask for you to RSVP by phone or email so we know how many riders to expect. The rides will start at
our office at 3495 Winton Place, Building E, Rochester, NY 14618. We'll look forward to seeing you in the spring!<br />

The year 2015 marks our 20<sup>th</sup> anniversary! WomanTours
is among a select few - only a quarter of all companies succeed this long. We’ve
had a wonderful couple of decades!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I owe our success … to all of you who keep coming back to
travel with us. Women like Mary, Margaret, Marlene and Cheryl who between them
have taken nearly 100 tours. Thank you!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
… to all of you who have stepped out of your comfort zones
to join a tour for the first time. It may be your first experience traveling on
your own, your first trip out of the country, your first ride longer than 10
miles, or your first attempt to use clipless pedals. I continue to be amazed
and humbled by your bravery.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
… to our founder, Gloria Smith, who had the initiative and foresight
to bicycle across the country and then start this company.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
… to the best guides in the business – women who have worked
with me for years, who make hard work look easy, and who I know are a big
reason so many of you keep coming back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
… and lastly, to family - to my sisters Jen and Michelle who
always have my back, to my cousin Kelly for her fresh perspective and cool
confidence, and to Sandra who is like a sister. She showed me the ropes early
on and continues to run our western office with aplomb. </div>

Thank you for helping WomanTours become the world’s leading
bicycle touring company for women. Here’s to our next 20 years and Happy New Year!</div>

As I write this, I'm
watching the rain through the window beside my desk. Typically, we have
snow this time of year. In my younger days, I'd squeeze my eyes shut and
wish hard for snow, thinking that the harder I wanted it, the more
likely the snow would fall. Now I've learned that whether it snows or
not, it's still the holidays. It's still the time to take off from work
or school, do the things that bring us joy, and spend time with those we
love. It's still the time to reflect on our good fortune and give
thanks. And it's still the time to know that next year is another chance
to make things even better! <br /></div>
May you enjoy this holiday season, with the ones you love, doing what you love.

We're hosting bicycle fun rides for women only from our WomanTours headquarters in Rochester, NY.<br />
<br />
Join us Tuesday, August 5, 2014 at 5:45pm for a beginner ride of about 10 miles. We'll be on the Erie Canal Trail. If you'd like to go longer, you can. Afterwards, we invite you to stay for a drink or a bite to eat at a nearby pub. One of us will ride last, so no one will get dropped or lost. If you need to borrow a bike for the ride, let us know as we may have one available.<br />
<br />
Then join us Friday, September 12, 2014 at 5:45pm for a 12-mile ride along our bike paths. Again, stay to join us for drinks or food afterwards if you can.<br />
<br />
All ages and abilities are welcome. Both rides will have a sweep cyclist
riding last who will help fix any flat tires. The ride will start at our office at 3495 Winton Place, Building E, Rochester, NY 14618.<br />

My neighbor and avid bicyclist, Dave, erected this tribute
to cycling Santa in his yard this year.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Whether or not you celebrate Christmas or believe in Santa
Claus, you have to be struck by the amount of planning and work that went into
creating this impressive lawn art. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It makes us think a lot about the work we put into our tours
and why we do it. Like Dave, if we can get a few smiles, some cheers, or an arm
pumping at the top of a hill, it makes our day.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It also makes me think about the planning and training many
women undertake when they come on a tour with us, especially for their first
time. It’s wonderful to be part of someone’s first 50-mile day, or first time
breaking 35 mph down a hill, or first experience traveling on her own.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thank you for another wonderful year at WomanTours. We hope
that whatever your goals are for 2014, you’ll reach them with a lot of hard
work and determination because those are the best goals worth achieving. We
hope to be celebrating with you with both arms raised high. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Have a great holiday season and happy new year!</div>

Eileen wrote us, "This is my first year of cycling. I bought a used hybrid in the spring and have ridden routes up to 40 miles. I learned how to ride with clip-in shoes and am finally getting the hang of them with only a few tip-overs this season! I am planning to buy a road bike next year and Aleta is going to help me train in preparation for the hills I am expecting in the Finger Lakes region. Thank you for this very generous prize!" <br />

We'll be sure to post when we're sponsoring another women's ride with a free tour....<br />

Many women have wondered how to attach those luggage tags we send you when you sign up for our tours. One of our guides, Cy Pugh, demonstrates it beautifully here. The tags are so simple that they can seem complicated! See you on your next tour!Jackie Marchandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04660881821433768602noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19311770.post-78221694961619899022013-08-29T14:46:00.002-04:002013-08-29T14:46:57.616-04:00Bike Tour Chef Position Available<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Roberta Schlicher wrote a great piece about us for the women in business website <a href="http://www.womenssourcebook.com/travel.html" target="_blank">WomensSourcebook</a>. She liked what she learned in the interviews so much that when all was said and done, she signed up to join us in <a href="http://womantours.com/wt.nantucket.html" target="_blank">Nantucket</a> this fall!<br />

You can also read about us in the July issue of Prevention: <a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1BZR1Ft8mPBemcxMFBCUENfME0/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Joy Ride by Selene Yeager</a>. Selene writes about the joy that only cycling seems able to bring some of us. If you're reading this, you probably already know that! Go ahead and her article to keep you motivated and then go enjoy the ride!Jackie Marchandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04660881821433768602noreply@blogger.com0
