I attended last year, but arrived Friday afternoon. I'm registered for this year, and I intend to arrive Thursday evening so I can "fully partake" in the experience!

I already have a ride event for May 6, in addition to the IFRD (International Female Ride Day). This sounds like an interesting event and get away time. I'll have to make a note of this event specially if it is an annual gathering. Thanks for sharing LionLady! Love the Blue Ridge area.

This year is the second one. I hope it is successful enough that MotoGirlCafe continues doing it! There are still plenty of spaces!

I'll spread the word about the event to the riders I know. Maybe some of them will be able to attend. I'll be at an AMCA local Chapter's first annual ride through Ohio's Amish country that weekend. If I wasn't already committed to that I would have seriously considered Mountain Moxie!
