I encourage drivers to be extra aware of motorcycles and pedal bikes on the roads this time of year.

The 1st Friday in May was International Female Ride Day and is celebrated by women all over the world. I enjoy encouraging women to ride so this year I organized a ride out to Cedar/Yellowpoint. It gives women an opportunity to meet and ride together, form new relationships while sharing a common interest. If riding is a desire, then why not give it a try? Many people have a fear over riding, therein lies an opportunity to say “yes” and explore what is on the other side of the fear. From experience it can be very empowering and give you strength and courage that you may not have realized you had.
