Celebrating a very special event for women motorcyclists, two prominent worldwide motorcycle organisations have come together on a special joint venture for female riders, supported by BMW Motorrad Canada.
“This tour is a perfect complement to the increase of women motorcyclists participating on an Edelweiss Bike Tour”, states Nigel Andrews President of Farewell Travel Service. “We feel this tour allows women a chance to have a female-only adventure, and to meet and mingle with other avid female motorcyclists. Vicki Gray, a true professional in the motorcycling world for over 25 years, brings a special dimension to this all-female event” adds Nigel.
With an original target of nine participants, this year’s fourteen-strong team proves the appeal of female-only motorcycling events and Edelweiss Tours is already planning for a follow-up event in 2011.
