February Bike Clinic

HELLO Pink Ladies! We are diligently working on getting our email/newsletter set up but wanted to let you all know about our upcoming bike clinic.

Join us Wednesday, February 15 at 6-7:15pm for a bike clinic/trainer ride with a Q&A session from one of the highly qualified BikeCycles staff and other experienced pink ladies.
What do you need?
-Bring your bike (or a friends)
-Your trainer (this is that little dohickie that holds your back tire and creates resistance so you can bike inside) **Let us know you don't have one so we can have one reserved for you
-Water bottle and towel!
So get ready to learn how to change those gears effectively and ride more efficiently. But most importantly have fun, get sweaty and meet other pink ladies!
PLEASE RSVP to ehinshaw@ec.rr.com if you plan on attending. Thanks and can't wait to see you all!


*Also for those that ordered a tri top and haven't paid ($50) you can mail them to The Pink Ladies, 203 Summer Rest Rd, 28405.

And Away we go!




Pink Ladies Board Members

Welcome to The Pink Ladies website! Since July 2010 we have been an “informal” group of ladies dedicated to empowering each other through the sport of triathlon and other athletic endeavors.  We decided that it was time to become an “official” group which will allow for better organization and for us to further spread our goals to all the ladies of the Wilmington community, as well as being able to “give back” to the Wilmington, NC area through different charitable goals each year. This year our charity is Nourish NC! It's an amazing opportunity to help those children in need locally! 

Our December 2012 kickoff was an amazing success! We look forward to training, motivating and empowering you all! Our complementary Azalea Tri training plan is ready to go! Visit the training page link on the right for details. Coach Buxton is ready to help you with questions and concerns on her forum too! Take advantage of this awesome and free opportunity!

As Pink Ladies, we've trained and raced everything from our first 5k to our first Ironman!  We support all women and strive to empower each other through our training.   Whether you walk, run, tri, swim, or bike; we believe in motivating those who choose to race or just meet new athletic and healthy goals.  We are here to support you all the way as you chase your dream of a tri, a 5k, or even an Ironman.  We are old friends, new friends, mothers, daughters, sisters and wives—We are the Pink Ladies! Come join us!
