Trying To Catch Up To Julie

Yes, that really is a wig on my helmet...

And, as promised, a tiara!

Power in Pink

Our DIRTY Diva's!

That was SOOOOOOOOO fun!

I have two words to say regarding our Power in Pink event:

AMAZING- and SoRe!

Thank you ladies for such an incredible ride. Thank you's and big hugs to following:

*Deb for always believing in my crazy ideas.

*Josh Harris and everyone at Stephen Wade Power Sports for your support!

*JorDan Hansen for creating a fabulous course for us to ride.

*Eric and Andy Dodge for your generosity.

*Christy for your courage and inspiration.

And a big warm hug to my main man Steve simply for everything.

Pictures are coming girls!

Guess Who's Joining Us?

Those of you who know elan woman, know when we do something, we do it right. Just to add a little "frosting" to Power in Pink, the charming and talented Eric Dodge will be joining us to deliver High Five's for our courage! And, while he's at it, he may sing us a song or two. We're also producing a DVD of the event...starring YOU - the true elan woman. For further questions or to add a girlfriend along for the ride, call our offices or Stephen Wade Power Sports.

Gearin' Up!

We are less than 24 hours away from Power in Pink! I've been pulling out all my riding gear and anything extra I can share with the girls. Because the Hansen family loves to ride, I do protect myself with the proper riding gear. I mean, for the sake of my sanity, it's necessary. Who would do the laundry if I got hurt? Actually, it's a 50/50 household at the Hansen's...and right now no one's 50% is getting done so it's all good!

So do you need all the gear to ride? No. BUT, girls, you do need:

Helmets, Long Pants, Closed Toed Shoes at least. I also recommend either goggles or safety glasses and gloves (to avoid blisters). Flip Flops are NOT part of the gear but rather the first thing I slip into when I return.

SWPS will have their store open tomorrow morning for us if you need anything.

JorDan scouts from the air for new trails. (Don't worry, he's not allowed to ride Saturday...show off!)

It's almost time to RIDE!

We are approximately 48 hours from the Power In Pink party! Debra and I are thrilled at your support and excitement. JorDan, son #3, child #4 and our 16 year old off road racer, mapped out the course for the event. The past two nights I've been out to ride it...it's going to be so fun...and challenging. Those of you attending Power in Pink are going to feel soooooo accomplished when you're done! JorDan took took Josh Harris, The BMOC (big man on campus) of Stephen Wade Power Sports out on their quads early this morning to check it out. Josh came back totally excited that he was a part of sponsoring such an AWESOME opportunity for women (he also came back a bit winded...it's been a few months since Josh has been riding and JorDan showed NO mercy!).
Thank you to Hotel Park City, Gina Jrel, Fox Gear, Brighton Jewelry, Dixie Regional Medical Center, and many others for providing the "so elan" give-aways!
Don't be left out. We'll make room for a few more ladies if you're interested. The fun begins at 8am Saturday morning. Go to our "escape" link to download the information.

September 11th

September 11, 2001. I was on the Utah PTA Road Trip. Musician, Kurt Bestor was with us as our special guest. As the terror began to unfold that morning, we made the decision to visit the three schools on the schedule that day. We found ourselves in the midst of scared children, worried parents, and concerned communities. Utah PTA was there to support - injecting safety, love and hope. Although we each wanted to be home with our own families, we were in the right place, at the right time, doing what the volunteers of Utah PTA do best...taking care of kids!
On this day of remembrance, I send a warm hug to my dear girlfriend and fellow Utah PTA board member, Margaret Wahlstrom, who lost her mother and sister in laws in the first plane that crashed into the Twin Towers. May we remember, we are one nation, under God. Prayers of comfort to ALL who lost loved ones this day.

Power In Pink - September 20th

It's time to escape ladies! This is a one day'er here in beautiful St. George, Utah.
AND its YOUR chance to ride. You hear or read me talk about enjoying the thrill of wind in my hair and the dirt in my teeth and I want to share the experience with you (I know I've captivated you now!). We teamed up with Stephen Wade Power Sports and Torque Powersport Rentals to give you the chance to ride your own ATV or UTV (or if you have one, to bring it along) and see the desert off road. AND, as women would do, we're riding for a cause.
ALL procedes from Power In Pink will benefit the Dixie Regional Medical Center breast care fund.
There will be product drawings, prizes (including best decorated helmet - mine is sporting a tiara!) and burly boys in PINK serving up lunch in the desert.
Click on "escape" from our home page to download your entry form.
This is a pilot program. Limited to the first 25 women to sign up so hurry and get your name "on the list." For fun. For an adventure. For a cause...
If elan woman is planning it, you don't want to miss it!
