Women’s Run

Saturday, May 23rd marked the 2015 Holstein’s Harley All Women’s Run. Always a fun filled day with a bunch of like minded ladies on two-wheels.

The day always starts with kickstands up at 11am, so around 10:15 I headed down to the garage to load up and head out.

And then…

Bummer! Tried calling and texting the hubster and got crickets. Cue the sad music. Tyree text in the meantime and said she would come over and hang with me until we found a solution.

At about 10:50 I got an apologetic call from the hubs stating he was on the way!

Ha! Oops! Totally both our faults on this one since Clint and I both had left the house that morning and neither one even thought twice about the road block. Duh.

Tyree was there shortly afterwards and we were able to catch up with the crew on 72nd street.

First stop: Crescent, IA.

Forecast: 75. Real life: 62 and cloudy. Biker Life: Leather up and soak it in.

Snack Time!

Liz and Kimi

Second Stop: Neola, IA

Liz & I. This chick is my jam!

Me, Jen and Liz

That cutie DeAnn.

Wonder what Regeana is eyeing?

Anna and Lora

PS – Thanks for the pics, Lora. I swiped a few or 10.

Pepper, Me and Jen!

Regeana, DeAnn, Heather, Kristen and Anna

Da girls

Cheesin’

Third Stop: Avoca, IA

Had my first malfunction with my new bags on the way to Avoca. Didn’t get latched. Lid flying wide open. #dontjudgeme #nocluehowtohandlethesedamnbags #hashtagbecauseican

Girl talk, cuz girls talk.

LOOK WHO MADE IT!!!!!

Jenn and Tina met up with us in Avoca.

Just love this girl. ❤ Heart of gold.

And these two are like long-lost-foul-mouthed-sarcastic sisters. Hilarious duo right here. I anticipate the 10th annual B!tch run to be full of shenanigans with these two involved.

Tyree, me, Kristen and Tina. 4 of the 7 Vegas girls.

Cyndi, Carrie and Jess… we had a drink on your behalf, I am sure. 😉

Fourth Stop: Oakland, IA

Gosh, I love these two. Kristen and her spit-fire ways and Suze – the calm, mama bear who looks out for us all. One of the kindest, most tender loving woman I know. You instantly feel so comfortable and at ease when she is around. Beautiful soul that girl. Just beautiful. ❤

Kristen was ready to get the crew back to Holstein’s at the appropriate time, so she bounced a little earlier then a smaller group of us. This happened when Kristen realized Tina wasn’t going to be making the trip to Omaha with us…

Through the fence, no less.

❤

And then there were 6.

Jenn and Tina took off back to Clarinda while Tyree, myself, Kimi and Liz headed back to Omaha to close out the night at Holstein’s with the rest of the crew.

Sassy group of women right here, huh, Marcy?

Pam & Marcy

And, THAT’S a wrap, folks.

Cheers to Summer 2015!

All Women’s Run – May 31st, 2014

group

Each year, Holstein’s Harley puts on a Women’s Only cruise. It’s a tradition that is holding steady and each year more and more women turn out for it.

Our 2014 route took us through Oakland, Iowa -> Harlan, Iowa -> Neola, IA -> Council Bluffs, IA.

leaders

The event is organized by Kristen, Holstein’s Motorclothes Manager. She put together a flawless event this year, covering every detail imaginable. From creating a route with the least resistance, fuel stops perfect for those with peanut tanks, solid 25 mile or more distances between each stop, lunch details to raffle prizes – the girl had it all.

Unfortunately, Kristen’s father passed away unexpectedly the day before the event. As Kristen dealt with the loss of her father, numerous women stepped up to the plate to help out in anyway possible. Kristen’s dear friend, Suze, reached out to Tyree to help her lead the pack and Tyree in return asked for my assistance as the route hit up all the Iowa bars that I was used to. Several ladies stepped up and helped with the check-in and announcement making.

A biker community banding together – one of the many reasons I love the two-wheeled life.

Good people.

After we dedicated the ride to Kristen and her dad, we loaded up and headed out.

Thanks to Holstein Harley for the first three pics

Thanks to the Riders for Christ in the road blocking assistance. We made it out of Holstein’s safely!

The first goal of the ride was to just get out of the Omaha Metro area. We crossed the bridge into Iowa and stopped briefly to get the girls back together again. Street lights in Omaha are abundant!
