when registration opened like Mia Waller to last minute additions like Karen Salemi, who decided to do the ride after meeting us that first afternoon. They were all ages, including Holly Ralph, our oldest rider (in her early seventies) and MOA member. They were descendants of the Van Buren Sisters like Sarah Van Buren (a great niece of the original sisters). The youngest rider, under 13, was in a sidecar and was the daughter of one of our coast-to-coast


riders. Twenty some riders rode the whole trip coast-to-coast along with our staff of about twenty. There were additional riders joining us at each stop, and by the time we rode across the Golden Gate Bridge into San Francisco, we were more than 175 strong. One common inspirational thread among everyone involved was the pride in being a part of something which show- cased women’s motorcycling prowess while pushing herself out of her own comfort


zone in some way. It was a phenomenal group, who all


brought something different to the ride and took away an amazing, life-enhancing adventure experience. I met new friends on this ride, and I deepened acquaintances into friendships. This was an experience that can only happen once in a lifetime. I was honored to be involved and very proud to ride the Sisters’ Centennial Motorcycle Ride.
