International Female Ride Day a synchronized day worldwide where women motorcycle riders "JUST RIDE" -- demonstrating their enjoyment and in most cases, passion for motorcycle riding. The campaign was created with the aim of highlighting the number of women who ride and building female rider awareness -- encouraging other women to take up the activity. The event places a spotlight on the female rider and celebrates the countless numbers who do--riders new to the activity or those who have had the pleasure all their lives!

Introduced last year, FEMALE RIDE DAYS' first step was as a National event with the intention to build globally. The success in 2007 made it easy in 2008 to move on to making it International!

And it was the women who participated that made this an easy transition--female riders and clubs throughout North America and Europe spontaneously joined in upon news of the campaign. As each year goes by FEMALE RIDE DAY will without a doubt continue to expand; enjoyed by more and more women worldwide as they claim the day and become involved in one of the greatest pleasures in life—motorcycling.

FEMALE RIDE DAY is for women who ride motorcycles no matter what form, or style--no matter the age, or experience. Motorcycles of all makes and capacities–scooters, sport bikes, dirt bikes or ATV’s.

The campaign’s slogan of "JUST RIDE" is a simple request of women riders and is by this method female rider awareness is created and enjoyed. It's concept is not attached to a charity, nor is it a fundraiser or for that fact, a controlled event--riders are free to make the day entirely as they so wish. Women are invited to join in, enjoy the camaraderie Internationally and be on their motorcycle on the first Friday each May -- Friday 2 May 2008.

FEMALE RIDE DAY is always the first Friday in May. The event appeals to females, who own, ride or have access to a motorcycle and invites their participation on Friday 2 May to simply --- JUST RIDE!

As it was in 2007, participants are invited to send in their photograph (including downloadable form) depicting rider and motorcycle --capturing the moment during their FEMALE RIDE DAY experience. Forward the photo to MOTORESS and by doing so will receive a memento-souvenir in return. This will be sent via post to their return address.

IS THERE A PLANNED/ PRE-DETERMINED MEETING POINT OR ROUTE? No. The day is free to make it as you wish-–JUST RIDE! However there are many organised exciting meet-ups and rides taking place initiated by different clubs or retailers--even including city specific "kick-offs". These you may decide to join in on--it's all up to you. (see below for links--available shortly).

IS REGISTRATION REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE? No. However if you wish to receive the Female Ride Day souvenir you are required to download and submit the participation form. Complete the form and mail it/fax it/ scan it to address indicated on the form.

DO I REQUIRE A MOTORCYCLE LICENSE? Yes and No. If you ride on the road yes indeed you are required by law to possess the proper documentation. If you own or operate an off road vehicle such as motocross, trials, enduro or ATV motorcycle and will be riding on a track or trail, you may not need a license. Check with your local licensing office for requirements.

MUST I OWN A MOTORCYCLE? No, however, in order to participate you need a motorcycle (scooter, off road, ATV, etc.). You may decide to rent one or borrow one. If you do borrow one from someone you know, be sure it's in good condition, the insurance covers you in case of mishap and that you do indeed have the proper license, qualifications and skills for operation.
