Joyride Women's Weekend 2014

This year was my first time coaching at the Women's Weekend and I knew it was going to be really fun but had no idea how many brave and determined girls I would get to help!  What a great time!!  I was so proud to be able to help!

I was there on Saturday coaching all day in the "Learn to Joyride" section (#1) with Katlyn Dundas.  I was really happy Katlyn had done this before and had a good plan how to get everyone going & how to speak really loudly so everyone could hear!  My guess is we had about 30 girls arrive at our section first thing Saturday so we were busy busy!!

Being in the beginner section was amazing.  I was so impressed!   The range of ages was very cool too.  I think the youngest girl was about 7...all the way up to my age....over 40 ish...(ahem).  

I even had my phone with me so I could take some cool pics to post.
But...ended up taking pictures of people using their own phones...forgot to use my own! Duh!

My first Joyride instructor's shirt!
We got purple...and the participants got black!
130 women riders woo hoo!!
