Imagine if you will, the logistics that it


takes to get a group of motorcycle riders across the country; there was A LOT of planning that went into making this ride happen. There was also A LOT of support in each local community on the ride itself. This was an amazing experience that I shared with the rest of our staff of about 20 riders who supported the ride by being ride group leaders, support vehicle drivers, hotel coordinators, traffic monitors and


luggage schleppers. This ride was also an opportunity to ride


with, and get to know, some of the most amazing female riders in the US today: • Alisa Clickenger, MotoAdventureGal and Sisters’ Ride creator extraordinaire


• Erin Sills, land speed racer • Sarah Schilke, BMW Motorrad Market- ing Director


• Sandy Borden, adventure travel writer • Porsche Taylor, editor in chief of Black


Girls Ride magazine


• Moira Zinn, Operations Director of Pow- ertrip Industries (managers of the BMW Demo Fleet). But mostly, this ride was about the


women who chose to do the ride coast-to- coast and the community we created with them. They were amazing! They ranged from many geographical backgrounds, and all had varied riding experience. They were planners who were the first to sign up
