    Great pic

    The other reason Robin has all their attention is that she probably just passed them all up some gnarly track on her DR200 & they're hoping to learn from the master (mistress?)

    I used to chase all the guys on ADV rides But now I'm fast enough to overtake some of them

    I'd need to have a life expectancy of 60 to be classed as middle aged though

    Looks like you only have to be a woman, have a pip-squeak bike, and have a pulse, to get attention !!!

    ..... I think I need to trade the X's bike for something smaller..... hmmmm ?

    yup, the only one that we know of that's adv riding but the Ulysses and Classic Clubs have a number of ladies that own and ride some serious 2 wheeled machinery here in the Bay, ( I was going to say sunny HB but that phrase will need to be put to rest for a while )

    I suppose I have to say something LOL . . .
    Yeah you are right Marty, I am trying to get out of something, but not the lawns but the housework
    Last year's MMMMM there was 9 females riding which was great. Different ages & abilities. . . . & it's great catching up each year. Clare ( Epic Rides) & Elinor (Dirtrider on KB) are the fast ones. Thanks everyone for the nice comments :-)
    Rosie decided to slip into something more casual for the photo shoot
