My first couple of years of riding I was quiet about being a female rider. Now that I am comfortable and conficent with my riding, it is time for a new login name.
My name is Julie. I rode street bikes for ten years before giving that up to be a mom. I am no longer riding street, but I am having a blast on the dirtbikes. I have a crf 100, 150, 230 and, my favorite, my crf250. Visions of a KTM are now dancing in my head.
Although a bit south of you, check out the SoCal Wrecking Crew forum for opportunities to hook up with some fellow DRNers there in California. They have been known to venture north for the Reno ride in February and opportunities to ride during the heat of the summer.
Be sure and check out the Women's Forum. There are a great bunch of gals in there and they are always willing to help.
