I’m celebrating 10 years of Women Only Motorcycle Training this year and teaming up with RMT Motorcycle Training to host a charity ride on Sunday 18th October.
We’ll be meeting at 9am at RMT for coffee and a catch up before heading out at 10:30.
As usual, the ride with be marshalled with professional riders and trainers and suitable for all abilities, including learners! So please come and help us celebrate!
This year, like every year since I started, has had its ups and downs (literally). I was 33 when I started and was met with plenty of resistance. Not from any of my WOMT students I might add, but from both men and women disgusted that I needed to ‘separate the sexes’. One woman accused me of taking advantage of women’s vulnerabilities 😭
One in particular stands out in my mind, from a large bike club based in the midlands. The owner was outwardly disgraced by the thought of ‘Women Only’. He made his opinions on my business model very clear.
It knocked my confidence and I felt like I was getting abuse for simply trying to help women. Fast forward a number of years later, the same guys ‘admin team’ got in touch with me to ask about a collaboration, after his niece had a horrific experience with a local school…I politely declined the offer.
I guess that’s a lesson learned for both of us. I knew women needed another option and I was prepared to help. It took him a bit longer and a personal experience before he realised what’s wrong with the industry! I am so glad I didn’t jack, in the beginning…
The women and men I have trained over the last 10 years have really been what it’s all about, watching them grow in riding ability and confidence is the icing on the cake! To those that decided to take a chance on me THANK YOU 🩵 Even those that have liked and shared my posts over the years, it hasn’t gone unnoticed x
So if you’ve been trained by me, it would be fantastic to see you in the Sunday 18th October, even if you’re not riding, pop down and say hello!
