May RG Newsletter - Women in Motion



Why to Register Today!
By Cindy Johnson

The
Women in Motion Ride is coming up fast – July 14-17, 2011.  This year, it will go through the Heart of Wisconsin.  Combined with the Tommy Thompson Reunion Ride, there is registration and a Manservant Auction at the CC Riders Clubhouse in Madison Thursday night On Friday, the ride will leave from Madison, heading for an evening party at Reel Brothers HD in Mauston via Monroe and Viola.  On Saturday, the ride continues to Black River Falls for lunch then ends with a Pig Roast dinner in Elroy.  On Sunday, everyone heads home on clean bikes, thanks to the guys that volunteer at the topless bike wash.  Vicki Sanfelipo leads the way with the talented Women in Motion Road Guardians.  It is an annual fundraiser for Accident Scene Management, Inc.   


I am a veteran to this ride and love the weekend get-away in the middle of summer.  For everyone, this ride has different meanings.  For many, it’s something that they have been doing for over a decade and a chance to catch up with others on the ride.  For others, it’s the mystery of finding out when Tommy will join us and what he will ride (last year was a Corvette and a Can-Am Spyder).  For those awesome WIM Road Guardians, I see their role as a chance for a weekend to get away from home and lead motorcycle enthusiasts on an awesome ride.  It doesn’t matter what you ride – just join us!

I truly enjoy taking the roads that are less traveled and wind through curves and hills, taking you to a different place.  Even a few years ago when the ride went through Manitowoc and Sheboygan, an area that I know well, I enjoyed the route and the ride – still finding something new.  I like that there are scenic stops along the way.  The stops last year were particularly beautiful – especially Pike’s Peak.  The Road Guardians are skilled and know the route – guiding the group smoothly through the most organized ride that I have ever gone on.  It is an economical ride – for your tax deductible registration, you get some snacks, meals, and evening entertainment – the evening dinners are always tasty and fun.  Hotel room blocks are arranged with great rates but the rooms blocks will be released next month so don't delay getting your room booked! It is a fundraiser for a great cause – many can speak of how the skills taught by the curriculum of Accident Scene Management courses have helped them in a crash.  To be able to get skills to more riders, ASMI needs financial support – this is a fun way to accomplish this.
