And my wanderlust was piqued by reading ADVrider.com. All those posts by guys having ALL the fun, taking off on their motorcycles with barely a change of clothes, a tent, and a bottle of water. Oh, and extra gas!!
THEN I noticed a post by a woman who spent an ENTIRE SUMMER by herself traveling in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and Arkansas with 2 bikes, a tent, and a lot of guts!! I read it over and over. Then I found another one by a woman who is 61 years old from British Columbia who rode her V-Strom to Moab, Utah by herself because she had to see it!
Well, howdy do. Then I met a lady from Austin who rode a bike just like mine all the way to MAINE by herself. I actually met her in person too!! Hmmm, I thought. These are real people, just like me. Women even. Living large....right out LOUD!! Not waiting on life to come to them but charging out to grab it by the throat!!
I've since found 2 more women who have recently completed a major ride to Colorado and beyond by themselves. These women are my inspiration.
My goal is to take a series of day rides, stringing them together into a trip to the Women's Motorcycling Conference and back.
