Happy Holidays!
As I’ve reflected on my year, I realized how different 2024 has been, yet also the same. This past spring I hosted ADVWoman Rendezvous in Grand Junction, CO. We had a wonderful time with participants from Canada, Colorado, and Utah. I taught private lessons. I collaborated with Shalmarie Wilson and SheADV at the TouraTexas Rally.
By design, ADVWoman has been less visible on social media and marketing channels this year. Since 2013 I have poured my heart, soul, energy, and resources into empowering women through off road motorcycling. When I launched ADVWoman, we were the only woman owned and operated ADV business. Thanks to your support we have achieved many firsts:
• First Adventure Rally “By Women For Women” where all coaches and staff are women.
• First professionally led all woman Colorado Backcountry Discovery Training Tour.
• First to truly champion and stand behind “By Women For Women” with all female coaches and staff at all events.
• First to create the optimal learning environment for women utilizing specific women’s centric training styles and methods.
• First to produce “See Me Soar Hear Me Roar” eight-part video series featuring women ADV riders.
We have supported significant numbers of women riders, coaches, industry insiders, influencers, GS Trophy riders, and women thriving in the ADV world. When I think of the courage, tenacity, dedication, and sheer BAD ASS factor of the women I have been privileged to work and ride with, my heart is full!
2025 will also be different and the same. I will continue offering private lessons. (I’m booking them now.) I will continue to collaborate with Shalmarie Wilson and the SheADV community. I am creating content for the SheADV community. You will see me at some SheADV events.
I am vibrant, healthy, strong, and…I’m going to do a lot more riding for fun!
Happy Holidays! Sending love and blessings for 2025!
