On the Ride is where I love to be....other then first Loving my Husband, Glenn. Loving my two sons, for enhancing our lives with two awesome wives....and now the beauty of life, a Grand Daughter. So yes, I am proud to be a Grams...and riding in the Fast Lane. Redhilda, 09 HD Street Glide my third bike, starting with a Buell Blast and HD 03 Low Rider (Hilda). Custom fit for my 50th Birthday...even a Garage door opener. Heated grips, yes I love riding year around. Riding the AMA Grand Polar Bear Tour, October to April, traveling almost every weekend to New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania and New York pending on the tour Stop. But, that is where my life has changed, New Jersey to Florida! Moving to Snowbird (ride) in Ocala, Florida. North Central Florida is filled with beautiful rolling hill scenery, forest, farm, swamps and the roads go on and on!
"Women in the Wind" comes in to play. Joining in 2006 , I ride with the WITW Shore Riders Chapter New Jersey, now Past President. I miss my NJ Sisters dearly, but the WITW Silver River Chapter has stepped up to show Sisterhood in a sweet "Southern Fashion". Member of AMA ( America Motorcycle Association ) & "Motor Maids, Inc"., NJENY and Florida. Highlights of riding.....Lead for a ride Atlantic City, NJ to Bensalem, PA, Amongst our riders....Gloria Struck, Oldest riding Motor Maid, then 84 years young. NJ to KC/MO, NJ to CO for AMA International Women in Motorcycling Conference. I love long distance riding, 350 to 500 mile day, Longest Day 739 miles, Longest trip 5003 miles. Enjoying all types of motorcycle racing, rock and roll music and just smiling. I am Blessed!
To Gail Collins, thank you for being our WITW Queen...for how many years.
Thank you Becky Brown for starting Women in the Wind.....Sisterhood of Women Riders since 1979. I have sooo many new Sisters, still to meet!
On the Ride....

P.S. Heated Grips work well in the Winter's Early AM, riding thru the Ocala National Forest.
