2012 Girly Ride Weaverville-Forks of Salmon-Crescent City-Shelter Cove

It’s that time again, when the women of the pashnit.com motorcycle forum get together and do a ride and gathering. This year it begins Friday August 23-25th and will be in Cambria, CA.

Every year I put forth a destination, and in the past have made routes and planned meals and meetings, but this year we are going a different route. This year we only have a destination planned and everyone attending gets to create their own goals and desires as to what areas they would enjoy riding. I suspect smaller groups will be formed, new friendships founded and lots of fun secured.

We are larger this year than in the past, at last count there were 31 attendees. We seem to lose some from attrition as the months pass from January when we begin planning, but usually by the time the day arrives there are plenty in attendance. My favorite pastime is just viewing all these beautiful and talented riders all on their own motorcycles taking to California’s roadways. It’s really a wonderful sight to behold. The mix of machines and styles are as diverse as the women sporting them!!

On a sad note, we have lost one of our long term members to illness. FishWitch Sydney Sheppard will be missed, but we all know she’ll be there with us in spirit!

I’m sure you’ll see lots of photos of this ride in the coming week. Wish us all a safe and fine journey!!
