Alright everyone!!! I have updated the facebook event and well be meeting in Hastings at the Holiday gas station and the route is posted too!! We will be having two to three groups as we have at least 17 people who are going and 15 more maybe's!! I cant wait to meet everybody and Im pretty sure our backpacks have all been found riders, if this is incorrect, please PM me right away so we can get that taken care of. Until next time.........

Also,  If anyone is interested I do need another sweeper and another person to be a leader in case we need a third or fourth group.. if anyone is interested please message me so I can keep you in the loop and you dont have to have a backpack if your willing to be a leader or sweeper. Thanks guys!!!!

hehehe, well it kinda is. I originally wanted it as just a girls ride, but i have more backpacks than two up riders so I will allow guys to go as long as they backpack a lady who wants to go. if your girlfriend would like to go then we would love to have you both, It would be good to expose more women into the motorcycle community, plus you would get to go.. guess it just worked out that way. I guess this is going to be different from any other girls ride we've had, but I want everyone "females primarily" to go and meet other women in the field whether they ride or backpack.. so there an obnoxiously large answer to your question.. :)just make sure to let me know if you two do decide to go, were almost to the point where well need to have two groups and i want to make sure I know when to add more leaders and sweepers.

So, I have two ladies who are backpacks and I am looking for a couple of guys who might be willing to backpack them on this ride, I will take recommendations as well, I will give you guys each other's contact info so you guys can make sure your comfortable with each other. I will hopefully have a route before the end of the week. Once everything is finalized I will post it!! Cant wait for this!! riders should probably pm me if your ok with a backpack and want to go. Thanks!

Wow, I didnt mean to start a controversy. I can admit it might have been a mistake to put "Revenge of the females" I got a little carried away, my bad. I want to have a woman's ride so We can get more women out there and comfortable with riding. My hope after this was to take many of these new female riders and get them on some of MSTA's rides. Ive only been riding for a couple of years and I only know maybe six female riders. Im not leading it because Ive never lead a ride and I dont want it to be a disaster. I found us a leader instead. Im hosting it because there has been talk of a girls ride for the past year but no one has DONE anything about it, so I stepped up, because I want one. I dont want to alienate the males of this forum The  reason I joined this forum is because I really like you guys and really value the knowledge you guys have. I do have to say that for my experiences riding is a male place and I want to women to feel comfortable here too because gender doesn't/shouldn't mean your better at something. I mainly posted this ride up here because I know that most of the more experienced riders come here so I was hoping to integrate some of those people with the mass of new female riders I know will be going.  I know I can't make everyone happy, but I will stand by this ride.

its ok Tim, no worries. I am just doing this because I think it would be a great opportunity for the women of all the forums to be able to meet and ride for one all girls ride. I do plan on creating and attending regular rides, but In my experience it has been very rare that I have gotten to meet new female riders on group rides and last year we had one of these and it was a great success. I guess its more like a meet and greet/ride to get all those women out there. Sometimes it is nice to have a few of your own gender to ride with what ever their experience level. I actually posted this on MSTA because I know that a lot of the female riders on here are ALOT more experiences and seasoned then most of the new riders who will be going so I thought it would be nice, if any of them are interested, for them to come and share their experiences and for the younger riders to see how the seasoned riders ride.. At least it sounded brilliant in my head...

Hello,

My name is bobby and Im from St. Paul, but I will be living in Rosemount with my parents over summer break from school. I ride a Honda CBR600RR and I have been riding for a couple of years. I rode in a couple of msta rides and realized that I am defiantly not as seasoned as many of the riders here, but I really enjoyed my time and would love to go on some more rides with msat. I can't wait to meet more riders and gain good experience while riding with you guys!
