Welcome to the first Idaho chapter of Women On Wheels®!
Jordan Valley ride
ROAD ETIQUETTE FOR THE IDAHO GEMS
Riding in a group
requires some discipline and adherence to common sense principals. Since
your actions not only affect you, but the other riders as well, we emphasize
safety. RIDE SAFE -- you may be riding in a group, but you must think for
yourself...do not follow blindly! Please remember you are responsible for
your own bike and riding choices.
· Participation in group rides require; 1000 miles of motorcycle riding experience, 500 miles of experience on the current motorcycle and membership in the national organization.
· No Alcohol or Drugs are permitted during rides or lunch stops. Any rider feeling they must partake will be asked to remove themselves from the group. This is for the safety of all concerned.
· If you are going to separate from the group, for any reason, please let your ride coordinator or sweep know. We want to be sure everyone arrives home safely. If someone separates from the group, it‘s of great concern.
· We ask our more novice riders to place themselves towards the back of the group. If you feel you fit into this category, please place yourself there.
· Men can ride as Support Members to Full Members (women). There are lots of ladies out there that have husbands, S.O.’s, or boyfriends that like to ride, too. They are welcome to attend as Support Members to a Full Member.
· We have no dues at the local club level.* However if you are riding with our group you need to join the national Women On Wheels organization. Our members can provide you with an application or you can go to the national website,
www.womenonwheels.org.· New members short of the mileage requirements are encouraged to seek out other riders in the group and “log some miles”. Remember these rules are to promote safe riding experiences.
- Please arrive at the rendezvous point with a FULL TANK OF GAS.
In addition, our chapter will also observe additional WOW goals:
 |
Assist the motorcycling community and the public at large in becoming aware that women are serious motorcyclists and deserve recognition. |
|
|
Encourage further developments within the motorcycle industry to meet women's needs for equipment, clothing and accessories. |
|
|
Make available information on safe riding techniques, and encourage participation in motorcycle safety courses. |
|
|
Promote a positive image of motorcyclists, and of women as motorcyclists, through educating the news media and the general public, thereby challenging the untrue stereotypes that are commonly presented |
|
|
Enhance the sheer enjoyment of motorcycling, and encourage women by showing them they have limitless potential and can accomplish any dream. |
