My Bike Diva blog has been nominated as one of the best sports blogs by Shape Magazine! Please follow this link and vote for me! http://www.shape.com/fitness/shape-best-blogger-awards-top-20-blogs-sports-nuts?page=2

Here are the details from Shape Magazines website:

Hey SHAPEers! Welcome to the first annual Blogger Awards! We're excited to share with you this new feature, which we hope will become a long-standing tradition. One of the most awesome things we love about the Internet is the vast amount of resources available at our disposal. Anything we could possibly want to know about healthy living, fitness or weight loss can all be found with just the click of a mouse. Some of our favorite resources? Blogs! Writing blogs or following our favorite blogs on the Internet has helped some of us here at SHAPE achieve our healthy living goals, whether weight-related or not. So, we thought, why not celebrate the phenomenon that is today's blogosphere? Hence, the SHAPE Best Blogger Awards!

The Details:
We searched high and low on the Internet for the best blogs in the different worlds of food, fitness, sports, weight loss, beauty and overall healthy living, and we think we found them! Although each of the blogs nominated are very different from one another, each blogger emphasizes the importance of leading a healthy, active lifestyle. Now, we want you to tell us who deserves the top spot in each of these six categories.

How it works: It's easy! The only thing you have to do is click below to vote for your favorite blogger in each category. Voting begins on Friday, Oct. 7th, and will go for three weeks, ending on Friday, Oct. 28th.

The Prize: One finalist in each of the six categories (beauty, healthy living, food, sports, fitness and weight loss) will receive a $100 American Express gift card. From there, we'll choose a grand prize winner, who will shoot a paid video series with SHAPE, which will be featured on SHAPE.com and possibly in an upcoming issue!

So what are you waiting for? Go vote!

Find Athletic Events on Active.com

Sporting Events on Active.com

Active.com is a terrific resource that all athletes should know about. Running, cycling, triathlons, swimming, golf, tennis, basketball, soccer and more, are all sports that are covered on the Active.com website. Community wide resources on the Active.com website include newsletters, race results, training plans, free training logs, videos and more.

Register for Races

I discovered Active.com a few years ago when I went to register for my first road bike event. The events website included a link to their Active.com registration page. The registration page included all the details about the ride, ride distance options, location of the ride etc… and let me register and pay the entry fee for the event. Active.com sends you an email confirmation once you have registered and paid for the event. I suggest printing out a copy of the registration confirmation and taking it with you, just in case there are any problems when you go to check in on the day of your event.

You can do a search on the site on the sport you are interested in, by state or by zip code, to get a listing of upcoming events in your area. I just did a search of cycling events within 100 miles of my home and came up with a list of over 14 events that take place between this weekend and the end of the year.

Subscribe to Your Sports Newsletter

Since my main interest is cycling, I subscribe to the Active.com cycling newsletter, which is sent to me via email every few weeks. The newsletter has links to online articles on a wide variety of cycling topics, including recent cycling news, training guidelines, nutrition tips and more.

So whether you are training for your next century ride, marathon or triathlon, check out the Active.com website for tons of great information on your sport.

Take care,
Lynn Smythe AKA the Bike Diva

People for Bikes

People For Bikes

On March 9, People for Bikes was launched at the National Bike Summit in Washington, DC. People for Bikes is a site trying to unite a million voices to improve the future of biking. People for Bikes is an initiative of the Bikes Belong Coalition.

Here is the email that I received from People for Bikes:

"Peopleforbikes.org is a campaign created by Bikes Belong, the national group of bicycle retailers and suppliers working to put more people on bikes more often. Our goal is simple: to unite one million voices of support to improve the future of bicycling – to make it safer, more convenient, and appealing for everyone. With one million riders on our side, we’ll create a national movement with the clout and influence to get things done."

Online Mountain Bike Magazine

International Mountain Bike Magazine Goes Live!

http://www.imbikemag.com/issue1/

It has been a long couple of weeks, but all the hard work has paid off! Here it is the first ever issue of IMB, a brand new interactive online mountain bike magazine!

We have been working hard to get the format right for a while and we are really happy with the final result. The magazine is packed full of video and audio content, as well as some spectacular photography and great articles. We have made a real effort to bring you some useful technique guides and also put some bikes through their paces. There is a really in-depth interview with trials rider Martyn Ashton inside and a first hand report on 24 hour endurance racing!

We can't wait for you to leave us some feedback and tell us what you think, hopefully you will be as happy with the magazine as we are. Over the next few weeks we will be planning the next issue, which will be due out in a two months. If you have any suggestions let us know!

Bike Diva Gift Shop

Bike Diva Logo
On July 22, I posted up that I was trying to finalize the design for my Bike Diva logo. The graphic image, shown at the top of this post, is my final decision. Besides printing up business cards and return address labels, I've been thinking about possibly selling t-shirts, tote bags, etc...with the Bike Diva logo.

Cafe Press Store
On Friday, I took the plunge and signed up for a Cafe Press store. Here's the link: www.cafepress.com/bikediva. I'm going to be placing an order through Cafe Press, just to see how smoothly their whole ordering process is. I also want to make sure the items look okay, and don't come out looking junky or cheesy.

Free Swag
Besides ordering a shirt or two for myself, I'll also be ordering a bunch of stickers, magnets and buttons. You can order single stickers, magnets and buttons on the Bike Diva Cafe Press store, but they are kind of pricey. If you happen to see me at a local ride, run or duathlon race, hit me up. I might just have a stash of Bike Diva stickers, magnets and buttons with me. FREE is always good.

Take care,
Lynn Smythe AKA the Bike Diva
