International Female Ride Day, founded by Vicki Gray of Motoress.com, encourages women around the world to hit the open road, whether it’s just for a few minutes or several hours, on the first Friday of May every year. Specific details for the Motor Company sponsored International Female Ride Day rides include:

  • International Female Ride Day, New York City – Starting at Bergen County Harley-Davidson/Buell, in Rochelle Park, N.J., the New York City ride will be led by Karen Davidson, great-granddaughter of one of the Motor Company’s founders. The ride, which will kick-off at 11:00 a.m. EDT, will roll across the George Washington Bridge before touring the sites of Manhattan. The celebration will continue after the ride with music, food, camaraderie and fun back at the dealership.
  • International Female Ride Day, Milwaukee – Country music artist, Krista Marie, will help lead the Milwaukee ride, which will kick off at Miller Park at 1:00 p.m. CDT, before rumbling through the streets of Milwaukee on their way to continue the celebration at the Harley-Davidson Museum.

Both rides are free and open to any female riders with a valid motorcycle license, but space is limited.

Women who cannot attend the rides in New York City or Milwaukee are encouraged to check with their local Harley-Davidson dealership, as many across the world are also planning rides in their areas to commemorate International Female Ride Day.
