Perfect Occasion to wear her International Female Ride Day T-shirt!

This photo was sent in to me from Neda. Indeed a pictures’ worth a thousand words. Neda was awarded Top Rider of her group during recent FAST school--which is the plaque she's proudly holding. This is given to the most improved rider of each group. I really love the fact that she is wearing her International Female Ride Day t-shirt!

She certainly belongs on that number one podium spot!

By the way, we’re supporting Neda’s huge and exciting adventure this August to raise money for breast and ovarian cancer research. She'll be doing a 1500 mile trek mostly off road! The ride is put on by the Women’s Motorcyclist Federation out of New York. Neda will be one of the twelve women on this trek,--and the only Canadian.

Have a read here and I hope you’ll support her too!

Thanks Neda for this great pic! And congrats to you!

Women lovin’ their curves on Shannonville Race Track

Women lovin' their curves on Shannonville Race Track.

We had such a terrific day during recent F.A.S.T. school on Ontario’s Shannonville race track. This particular course date, along with another one on 11 August provides a woman’s only group. We had 9 women new to the track—by the courses’ completion you would NEVER have known it was their first track experience. Well that’s all due to Michel Mercier’s years of proven teaching methods.

We managed three groups throughout the day; one comprised of women the other two, men. Four of us instructors (3 fellows and “moi”). The conditions were perfect!—blue skies, dry, sunny, slight breeze accented by the scent of high performance sport bikes! It’s so rewarding to introduce women, true enough any riders, to the art of cornering and higher speed riding the circuit allows; viewing the amplified skills and techniques—those HUGE smiles are gratifying.

Great pics hey? (Excuse my hat –having helmet hair issues!) Special thanks to FLAIR photo for their terrific track side photo service and professional photographic talents!
