Women Who Ride Conga III (Raising money for Breast Cancer)

What is a Conga you say???

A Conga line is merely a group of Bikers that ride with each other, going with the Flo from state to state or province to province. You can join the Conga and ride for a mile or two, or a state or two...or more!!
Likely the line will fall apart here and there, but has been known to have many join and different places especially at the end.
That irresistible rumble of Motorcycle Conga is hard not to join in on the fun!!
 
The idea of the Conga came about when I bought my first Harley Davidson, from Ride Like a Pro in Hudson, Florida. Florida is kitty corner across the continent from Vancouver Island where I live. Almost 6,000 miles if you go the scenic route. Being as I get lost in parking lots in my own home town, I knew riding it home wasn't an option.
I had a dream... that I flew to Florida, met some of the gals on the forum, took the Ride Like a Pro Course and Rode the Tail of the Dragon and found my way home.
I told Donna from Women Who Ride and the Ladies from Vancouver Island Lady Riders ... and the enabling began!!
 
Donna said...Great, I will pick you up at the Tampa Bay Airport, you will stay with us for a week until you are comfortable on your bike, we will escort you out in the right direction. To make a long story short, women from many states, rode with me, took me into their homes, fed me, and escorted me off to the next bunch of women. Most of us meeting in person for the very first time. I never rode one single mile alone. What a Conga Line!!
At the last minute, I decided to do it for a cause. Friends were paying me so much a state that I hit. Needless to say, I snagged the corners of a few extra with my new found friends. I raised $1,700 for Cancer in memory of my motorcycle instructor, Rod Wiseman.
And so began the Congas...
Conga II started out to be a Reunion...Get all those women together and it's a full blown Conga Line, from Sea to Shining Sea!! Raising $12,000.00 for Breast Cancer.

Conga III is being discussed a few short months after the Conga II ended in July /09.
We are well underway, with rooms booked for a MIM (meet in the middle) in Cheyenne, Wyoming July 8 2010!!
