Grandma
Knows Best
 When
it comes to Grandmothers, there’s a lot to be
thankful for. Where else can you find warm hugs, a
mouth-watering brownie recipe and a tireless mahjonng
adversary all lovingly packaged in a muumuu?
And then there’s Kim McElhinney
whose Grammy Mac instilled an unquenchable thirst
for adventure. A genuine cowgirl, Grammy Mac blazed
her way into family history by out-riding men to win
rodeos and completed a two month horseback riding
journey with three girlfriends to move her horses
from Wyoming to California.
Inspired by her Grandmother’s
feisty spirit, Kim left her corporate job to start
up Dude Girl, a fun collection of activewear for yoginis,
cyclists and lollygaggers alike. Combining cowgirl
sensibilities with modern styling, Dude Girl is filled
with fun and practical pieces including DG Yoga Jams,
Asana Tees, and Giddyup Bike Shorts. And Grammy Mac
would have approved of Dude Girl’s compassionate
business practices like using eco-friendly fabrics
and supporting worthy causes like breast cancer research.
Dude Girl originally started as an
adventure travel company and continues to offer a
small array of trips for avid cyclists and runners.
There’s mountain biking through Bulgaria, road
biking in France or stay on this continent for a trail
running adventure through Yosemite. Space is limited
so act soon to get in on the action.
Giddy up.
